摘要

Because the concept of sustainability includes three dimensions: economic, environmental, and social, the manufacturing system contains numerous complex influencing relationships among sustainable manufacturing (SM) factors. This circumstance hinders the advancement of sustainability. In this chapter, the social network analysisSocial network analysis (SNA) approach is used to analyze the roles of the SM factors by taking into account their interactive relationships. Furthermore, the k-meansK-means algorithmAlgorithm is a distance-based algorithmAlgorithm, which calculates distances before assigning a point to a cluster. It was also used in this chapter to categorize the SM factors based on their centrality scores. Using this SNA-classificationClassification algorithmAlgorithm approach, the importance and role of each SM factor can be assessed. Based on the classificationClassification results, it was discovered that sociologists should conduct more research into the social dimension of social mediaSocial media.
