Abstract Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to review a sample of the literature relating to Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) and its deployment for modelling purposes in the area of supply chain management (SCM). Design/methodology/approach- The literature is examined from the three perspectives. First, concept of ISM and examines ISM as modelling technique. Second, use of ISM by ...

From the last 5-8 years in academia, industries and irrigationsector, green supply chain management (GSCM) has took up significant consideration and being used for optimization of resourses. Nowadays consumers are attractive toward further ecological surrounding and administrations are creating severer ecological protocols, and farmers are opting to decrease the ecological affect being caused b...

We extract and analyze the decision factors of introducing image information system by ISM (Interpretive Structural Modeling) method to determine the criteria and structure for system selection. As a result, 15 factors were extracted, and the structure and relation among factors became clear.

This study was conducted using a mixed method (qualitative-quantitative) in which 21 variables of the model were extracted qualitative section and interviews with 19 experts determining relationship between to achieve quantitative part based on interpretive structural modeling (ISM).

in a complex and volatile environment of the supply chain, any attempt to reduce the risks may increase or decrease other risks; thus, achieving an overall picture of the risks of supply chain and relationships between them are necessary and will lead to more effective and comprehensive strategy to response to risks. the purpose of this paper is identifying and extracting the potential risks of...

the main purpose of this paper is to present a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (fmadm) model for appropriate location selection of a health center. therefore, we identify sixteen criteria and sub-criteria for selecting a health center location. these criteria and sub-criteria have been obtained from literature reviews and practical interviews. this paper proposes a method which combines th...

Interpretive structural modelling (ISM) is a well-established methodology for identifying relationships among specific items, which define a problem or an issue. This approach has been increasingly used by various researchers to represent the interrelationships among various elements related to the issue. ISM approach starts with an identification of variables, which are relevant to the problem...
