Abstract: Globalisation has led industries all over the country to follow sustainable lean practices to minimise the environmental impact and to maintain a high-quality for all products and business services. The implementation of sustainable lean practices has a varied number of challenges. Efforts are made in this paper to analyse the most important challenge responsible for the implementation of sustainable lean manufacturing (SLM) along with Industry 4.0. The challenges were identified after a thorough literature review and with the help of industry experts. The key challenges were then processed and verified using two methodologies, best worst methodology and analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The data collected from BWM was then verified using AHP process with the help of industry experts. Finally in the end 'working culture' was found to be the most important criteria responsible for the implementation on Industry 4.0 in SLM.
