    by Manoj Sharma 
    Abstract: Industry 4.0 is attracting interest from organizations in established and emerging countries for their potential advantages. The acceptance of sustainable procedures in Industry 4.0 is facilitated by the identification of several enablers. The goal of the current project was to provide enablers for sustainable practices for Industry 4.0 for the MSMEs sector. In this study 25 enablers were found from literature. For validation of these enablers a case study is accomplished at an Indian MSMEs that is seeking to execute Industry 4.0 techniques. The BWM method used to give the ranking to these enablers. The findings demonstrated that the primary enabler to sustainability in Industry 4.0 are supply chain and least enabler in Industry 4.0 are financial enablers. It is expected that the study's conclusions will help decision-makers and manager’s use Industry 4.0 technology to increase MSMEs' sustainability in developing economies.
    Keywords: Industry 4.0; BWM; sustainable manufacturing; enablers; supply chain; MSME.
