| Summary: | In this paper, criteria within the most significant domain of manufacturing in automotive industry in Malaysia is analysed and prioritized. This paper aims to propose a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) procedure using concept of fuzzy theory, graph theory and Laplacian matrix approach which is embedded into Graph Theory and Matrix approach (GTMA). The manufacturing domains are ranked using Laplacian energy while the criteria within the most significant domain is prioritized using method of graph drawing whereby the criteria's is ranked based on the average distance among other criteria in Cartesian coordinate system. The result indicates that cost, quality and service in economic domain are among significant criteria's that practitioners should give an attention in developing a quality sustainable manufacturing framework so that the industry could sustain for a longer period of time. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
