In the context of halal supply chain, need for flexibility suppliers is increasing along with changes in regulations, policies, markets, and technology that change dynamically. Therefore, more systematic dynamic modeling criteria needed to improve quality chain management as a whole. The purpose this study identify by considering chain. study, carried out using Interpretive Structural Modeling—...

Application of Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) in Analyzing Obstacles to Combat Desertification with Pathological Approach Yazd Province

This research focuses on the return process, process where consumers decide to product after receiving an order or making a purchase. incident is not desired by company, because it has potential reduce profits and consumer loyalty. However, company aware that cannot be avoided. So this aims evaluate factors have cause using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) Methodology. case study was cond...

The main aim of this study is to identify the most important natural gas pipeline failure causes and interrelation analysis. In research, rough analytic hierarchy process (Rough-AHP) used rank order. Then a combination decision-making trial evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) interpretive structural modeling (ISM) method applied generate level importance. comparison traditional DEMATEL Rough-DEMATE...

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of applying an interpretive structural modeling (ISM) method for case hosts to develop verity design solution of case host preference-based products. In the early design concept stage of the product development, designers often need to create many ideas as the case of products for the main idea of what case the host wants. Hence, a conversion...

despite the development of appropriate academic and experiential background knowledge management and its manifestation as a competitive advantage, many organizations have failed in its effective utilization. among the reasons for this failure are some deficiencies in terms of methodology in inappropriate recognition and translation of km dimensions and lack of systematic approach in establishme...

This paper discusses the nature of Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) as methodology for dealing with complex issues. Aspects of managing complexity relating particularly to the use of ISM with a group of participants are explored. These include the interrelations between the issue, group and methodology, and, between content, context, process and product. Languages for modelling structure...

This article proposes an automatic generation method of a relation matrix for Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM). In ISM, keywords related to the problem are selected. Then the relation between two arbitrary keyword pairs is examined. When there is a relation between these two keywords, a non-zero value such as 1 is assigned to this relation. After examining the relations of all pairs of k...
