Integrating reliability, human–machine ınteraction, and sustainability for assured additive manufacturing in government-linked enterprises
摘要
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is increasingly recognized as a transformative technology for ensuring reliable, sustainable, and human-centered production within the emerging Industry 5.0 paradigm. This study develops and empirically validates an integrated analytical framework to strengthen system assurance in government-linked enterprises by examining the interplay of reliability, human–machine interaction, and sustainability alignment. Using survey data from 267 respondents, a three-pronged methodology was adopted: (i) Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test hypothesized causal associations among latent constructs, (ii) Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) with SHAP-based explainability to enhance predictive accuracy and interpretability of system reliability, and (iii) the Best Worst Method (BWM) to rank and prioritize enablers from a system assurance perspective. The measurement model demonstrated strong reliability and convergent validity, while the structural model indicated excellent fit (
