Due to the complex nature of safety culture and process industries, several factors influence process safety culture. This paper presents a novel framework that combines the hidden content analysis method with Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Fuzzy logic to achieve a comprehensive set of influential factors and their relationship. The proposed methodology consists of two primary stages. Firstly, combined methods of literature review and Delphi study were used to identifying influential factors of process safety culture. Secondly, the Fuzzy-DEMATEL approach is employed to quantify and determine the relationships between different influential factors. A diverse pool of experts’ opinions is leveraged to assess the impact of each factor on others and process safety culture. In the first stage, 18 factors identified as influential factors on process safety. The findings of second stage revealed that eight variables were identified as causes, while ten variables were classified as effects. Also, the Organization management's commitment to safety factor had the greatest influence among all of the factors. As well as, the most significant interaction was associated with the risk assessment and management aspect. The integrated approach not only identified the influential factors, but also elucidates the cause-effect relationships among factors. By prioritizing factors and understanding their interconnections, organizations can implement targeted safety measures to improve process safety culture. Its effectiveness in quantifying qualitative data, identifying influential factors, and establishing cause-effect relationships make it a valuable tool for enhancing safety culture in process industries.

“…The ZOGP model as an effective MCDM approach for solving independent or conflicting objectives is an extension of linear programming and is used to rank an alternative based on total deviations in ascending order, where all decision variables are either zero or one; zero is non‐selection, while one is selection (Meethom & Koohathongsumrit, 2020). This approach can be divided into many types: simple, interactive weighted, extended, Chebyshev, reference point, compromise programming, and lexicographic methods (Özcan et al, 2017).…”

This study presents a new integrated approach based on the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and zero–one desirability programming (ZODP) for selecting strategic marketing information system projects. The FAHP is employed to prioritize the criteria, and the ZODP is used to select a set of appropriate projects. The proposed integrated FAHP–ZODP approach maximizes the overall desirability value under various objectives, limited resources, and preferences. The findings of this study support decision makers in project selection when conflicting attributes are involved, ensure effective decision making with an understanding of the marketing environment, and assist project management under certain and uncertain environments.

“…According to the previous foresight studies on the issues related to food, they mostly use the data from trends, driving forces, hindsight, emerging issues and insights generated by experts (Garnett et al , 2016; Bourgeois and Sette, 2017; Brooks and Place, 2019). Delphi survey was one of the useful technique to use for gathering and synthesizing expert opinions for stronger key possibility (Meethom and Koohathongsumrit, 2020; Wehrle et al , 2022). The study of Antonelli M. et al shown the use of Delphi survey to gather the key trends and perspectives of the Mediterranean agri-food system (Antonelli et al , 2022).…”

Purpose Indigenous knowledge is an essential element for unveiling the evolutionary journey of socio-culture phenomena. One of the key challenges in foresight exercises is to incorporate social-culture issues such as culture, lifestyle and behavior (referred as indigenous knowledge) into the study. However, the statistical trends of those factors tend to be either not available or limited unlike the population or economic related factors. The purpose of this study is to present the use of valuable data from indigenous knowledge to enhance the foresight exercise through the better understanding of social dynamics and changes. Design/methodology/approach The fragmented form of indigenous knowledge is analyzed and converted into a structured data format and then interpreted to unveil the evolutionary journey of socio-cultural phenomena. This study applies a scenario development method to visualize the results of foresight by comparing before and after the integration of indigenous knowledge. Finally, an assessment was conducted to reflect the value enhancement resulting from the integration of indigenous knowledge into the foresight process. Findings With the proposed approach, the foresight study on the future development of Thai food was demonstrated. The findings of this study show that the use of indigenous knowledge on eating behavior, cooking style and food flavor helps improve the alternative scenarios for the future development of Thai foods. Practical implications Indigenous knowledge can be applied to develop plausible scenarios and future images in foresight exercises. However, by nature, indigenous knowledge is not well-structured and, therefore, needs to be analyzed and turned into structured data so that it can be interpreted before integrating into the foresight process. Originality/value This study is one of few studies addressing the opportunities for integrating indigenous knowledge into foresight process. Indigenous knowledge can unveil the evolution of socio-cultural changes to improve the results of foresight study, especially the cases where statistical data and trends may not be sufficient to foresee future development.
