Abstract
Sustainability Supply Chain Management (SSCM) is receiving interest for practitioners and researchers. In this work, literature survey and expert opinions have suggested 11 barriers to SSCM. These identified barriers have been further checked for interdependence between each other. Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) technique has recommended to investigate contextual relationships among barriers. Furthermore, data analysis and decision making have been done with MICMAC analysis. "Ineffective environmental measures" has been found as independent variable and placed at bottom level in ISM hierarchy whereas "Unawareness of society amongst society related programs and meeting" and "cost of sustainability and economic conditions" have recognized as dependent variable and placed at top level. This research has concluded that in future, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) framework and ISM fuzzy MICMAC analysis can also be used.
