What is Total Interpretive Structural Modeling (TISM)

Chapter 13
Advanced Methodologies and Technologies in Engineering and Environmental Science
Fuzzy TISM is an extension of Interpretive structural modeling (ISM) technique. ISM methodology, transforms unclear, poorly articulated models of systems into clear, well-defined models. ISM uses experts to judge the variables, and the relations among the variables are interpreted. ISM depends on the experts’ knowledge and familiarity with the firm, its operations, and its industry. ISM generates deep knowledge of the subject and is greatly helpful for practitioners.

Abstract
The objective of the chapter is to identify the leading green procurement drivers and identify the interrelationships using fuzzy total interpretive structural modeling and MICMAC approach. For the purpose of this study, 25 drivers were identified from existing literature that influence green procurement practices. These are finally refined through experts' opinions. The final fuzzy model consists of fuzzy relationships between one-to-one criteria. The key drivers which emerged from fuzzy TISM and MICMAC analyses are government policy and regulations, total quality environmental management, management support, management review, continuous education of employees, cross-functional team building, organization culture, and green process and technology. The green procurement model may assist supply chain practitioners in better decision making and successful implementation of green procurement programs.
