Abstract
We developed a multicriteria decision-making method based on the list of novel single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy rough (SV-NHFR) weighted averaging and geometric aggregation operators to address the uncertainty and achieve the sustainability of the manufacturing business. In addition, a case study on choosing the optimum elements for a sustainable manufacturing sector was carried out. The proposed decision support method is then compared to other relevant methodologies, and a validity test is performed to show the reliability and validity of the new methodology. Sustainability is one of the most important issues the world economy is facing today. Several industrial businesses have incurred large financial losses as a result of their ignorance of sustainability issues. Manufacturers in industrialized countries have done a decent job of making sure that their businesses are sustainable over the long run. Modern companies use a lot of modern technologies. These include blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics (BDA), and fuzzy logic (fuzziness). These modern technologies support the continuation of life, either directly or indirectly. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to concentrate on those elements that encourage the adoption of sustainability. The goal of this study is to provide a framework for using cutting-edge technology to increase the adoption of sustainability in manufacturing firms. Under the guidance of single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy rough (SV-NHFR) aggregate information, it was advised to place a strong emphasis on addressing sustainability, waste management, environmental protection, manufacturing cost savings, and chemicals and resources. The results suggest that the proposed technique can solve the inadequacy of the existing decision method by the SV-NHFR aggregation operators in terms of decision adaptability.
