Abstract: In the present scenario, achieving the green capability has become one of the typical features that is pitching hard along the explorations and transitions of the manufacturing supply chains. Since the ceremonious, common and static solutions do not help to transform the dynamic natured manufacturing supply chains into green manufacturing supply chains. This is mainly due to the increased complexity (of manufacturing supply chains) outpacing the advancement achieved. Hence, there must be a process geared up to identify and prioritise the significant areas to focus and dynamically adjust the targets for continuous improvement to achieve green capability. To address these issues, the current study proposes a methodology consisting of five phases to institute the directions for achieving green capability and it is integrated with a benchmarking approach to provide the basis for continuous improvement. In order to present its utility, it is deployed in an Indian manufacturing company.
