Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

Over the last few decades, the manufacturing industry has been a major contributor to pollution and consumes a greater portion of the world´s total resources. Social demands and customer pressure have forced manufacturing industries to embrace sustainability principles. The automobile industry is the largest manufacturing sector, which is a significant contributor of environmental pollution. However, there is a significant potential to reduce resource consumption by the automobile industry and improve its social performance through sustainability initiatives and technologies. In order to contribute in this direction, the case study reported in this paper was carried out. The objective of the reported study is to build a suitable system dynamics model to identify areas required for sustainable improvement in an automotive component manufacturing organization. Factors influencing sustainable initiatives were analysed by developing a model using a system dynamics approach. Suitable performance indicators were identified and used for carrying out the analysis.
