“…Majority of the Multiple-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) approaches assume that the criteria are independent of each other, which is not a realistic assumption in real world problems (Gölcük and Baykasoğlu, 2016). DEMATEL is a technique that determines the interdependence among the factors with the help of a casual diagram (Seleem et al, 2016). In practical situations, unpredictable surroundings may result in imprecise human judgments and vague information.…”

“…As this paper aims to uncover the CSFs relevant to implementation of sustainability initiatives in industrial supply chains from the system perspective, a Grey based DEMATEL approach has been proposed to understand the structure of complicated causal relationships among the identified CSFs and to classify them into cause and effect groups. DEMATEL can extract the interrelationships as well as the intensity of interrelationship between various elements of a system (Hsu et al, 2013;Seleem et al, 2016). Grey set theory is an approach that can incorporate ambiguity and uncertainty into the analysis process.…”

Sustainability assists organisations to attain competitive edges through enhanced ecological, financial and societal performances of their entire supply chains. The adoption of sustainability is usually difficult for the organisations, especially in a developing nation, such as India due to the existence of various significant factors related to finance, management, government regulations etc. The present paper uncovers the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for effective adoption of sustainability initiatives in the supply chain in Indian context. Fifteen CSFs for the successful adoption of sustainability initiatives were identified and finalised firstly from the literature and followed by expert inputs. A methodology based on Grey-Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) was used to envisage the organisation of complex causal relationships between the recognised CSFs. "Government Legalisation" has been found to be the most influential factor and "Community Welfare and Development" is most easily influenced factor. A multiple case example of three automotive companies operating in India is conducted. This work proposes a decision framework to assist managers in revealing the interactive relations among sustainability oriented CSFs in the supply chain. To the end, some important policy measures and recommendations are proposed to help practicing managers and government bodies to adopt and effectively manage the concepts of sustainability oriented supply chains in India.

“…The approach is used to resolve multi-dimensional issues by pinpointing the interdependencies among criteria. It can also be used in ranking the criteria for long-term decision-making (Miao, Xu, Zhang, & Jiang, 2014; Seleem, Attia, & El-Assal, 2016). The output of DEMATEL takes the form of a digraph and a causal diagram, which highlight the effect of one factor on another (Lin, 2013).…”

Despite the widespread use of financial reporting quality (FRQ) metrics, the literature provides little evidence regarding the prominence and causal relationships among them. The article provides empirical evidence on prioritizing FRQ metrics and examining the causal relationships among them. Through extensive literature review and expert inputs, 12 FRQ metrics were finalized and analysed using the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method. India, a developing country, was selected for empirical study. Empirical results indicate that opinion in auditors’ report is the most prominent metric to examine FRQ, followed by value relevance in the context of fair value accounting. A formal scientific categorization of the metrics into cause and effect groups has also been attempted. The causal relationships among FRQ metrics and their relative prominence would help in interpreting empirical studies, which employ these metrics. The study suggests that the stakeholders can focus on prominent FRQ metrics to examine FRQ of the reporting entity before taking their decisions.

“…Manufacturing organizations find it challenging to attain their goals due to certain process restrictions smoothly. If these restrictions are well understood, KPIs can be identified more accurately and can also assist with the improvements required to achieve goals (de Sousa Jabbour, de Oliveira Frascareli, & Jabbour, 2015; Seleem, Attia, & El‐Assal, 2016). Therefore, it is essential to understand all the existing restrictions before employing any performance employment initiatives.…”

An investigation of key performance indicators for operational excellence towards sustainability in the leather products industry

et al. 2020

Operational excellence refers to a mixed management structure that enhances the productivity of an industry by exercising the best practices and efforts for continuous improvement. In order to achieve sustainability, operational excellence initiatives are practiced by different organizations. The intent is to investigate how to perform the practices of operational excellence towards sustainability in industries. In the existing literature, some studies investigated key performance indicators (KPIs) for other domains that are not readily applicable in the background of an emerging economy, principally for the leather products industry. To fulfill these research gaps, this study contributes to the operational excellence literature by recognizing the KPIs of operational excellence towards sustainability by examining the peer-reviewed scientific articles and through expert's suggestions. The identified KPIs are segregated into six dominant categories and 27 sub-KPIs in the field of leather products industry. Further, the prioritization of the KPIs is established by adopting the best-worst method (BWM), which involves simple pairwise comparison matrices compared with other multicriteria decision making techniques. The findings indicate that the KPIs under the "Management" category are at the highest priority. It is anticipated that the results originated from the study will support the expert's to appropriately recognize the significant KPIs and drop insignificant KPIs for successful operational excellence towards sustainability practices in the supply chain of the emerging economy.
