Tribal heritage in Jharkhand holds immense potential not just as a cultural asset but as a foundation for sustainable, community-led entrepreneurship. This paper examines the major issues that can help the tribal societies transform their cultural heritage into legitimate business enterprises. Based on the domain, the study makes use of the Best-Worst Method (BWM) to rank significant enablers. It applies Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) and MICMAC analysis to discover the structural relationship between them. It is indicated that although the availability of natural resources, indigenous knowledge, and governmental support serve as the foundations of tribal enterprise, psychological preparedness and market access are the key factors in the long-term development. Interestingly, cultural values and education are also discovered as highly ingrained factors that determine an entrepreneurial intent and sustainability. The paper illuminates the multifaceted nature of the problems tribal entrepreneurs have to encounter, such as geographical remoteness and the changing demands of consumers, but also shows the opportunity to interfere by making specific changes. Through mapping of these enablers and their linkage, this study will provide a practical framework to be used by policymakers, NGOs, and local stakeholders to enable and expand tribal entrepreneurship in Jharkhand. Finally, it promotes the model of development in which cultural pride and economic empowerment must go hand in hand.

This paper is an attempt to examine the implementation of Lean Manufacturing system in the Indian industries. Predominant elements of Lean Manufacturing, benefits gained after its implementation and obstacles observed by Indian Industry have been recognized. The results of this survey support the opinion that Lean Manufacturing had potential to improve the organizational performance of Indian industries. Nevertheless, Indian industries are required to be passionate to transform their manufacturing by adopting Lean manufacturing to gain the full benefits. A large numbers of literature papers are available on the better side of Lean manufacturing approach and its benefits gained by manufacturing organizations after implementation. But the adverse impacts of Lean manufacturing are not discussed to a great extent. Some drawbacks of Lean manufacturing are also highlighted in this paper.

Manufacturing industries are consistently working on improving their operational performance to remain competitive in the market. LM is a well-recognized approach for improving the overall performance. It contains several elements covered under a few lean attributes. This paper presents the application of Graph Theory and Matrix Approach (GTMA) for the identification of relative importance of different lean attributes in a lean environment using qualitative and quantitative factors. The Lean Manufacturing Attributes (LMA’s), affecting the overall LM environment, of a manufacturing industry were identified and analyzed for the implications on the managerial decisions. .In this proposed study, The GTMA approach is applied to prioritize the LMA’s based on their relative importance.

Lean Manufacturing is being adopted by many Indian industries based on its capability of improving manufacturing performance. Lean Manufacturing supports the concept of delivering the low cost and good quality product to customer by focusing on elimination of waste. Lean Manufacturing employs various elements which aspire to involve the employees to create a customer centric organization. This paper is an attempt to examine the significance of various lean manufacturing elements in Indian industries. Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) approach is used to examine their inter-relationship and ranking based on their driving power and dependence powers through development of diagraph and structural model in the Indian industry context.
