“…It is useful to analyse the interrelationships between the factors. The ISM approach has been extensively used in project managemnet field (Hughes et al 2016 ; Shrivas and Singla 2020 ; Samantra et al 2016 ). The ISM has been updated by Sushil ( 2012 ) as Total Interpretive Structural Modelling (TISM).…”

The Covid-19 has shifted the face of many markets including e-commerce and online business with many bottlenecks to be cleared. The last-mile delivery project has the greatest effect on all types of e-commerce companies because it has many consumer touchpoints as well as the Covid-19 pain points. Due to these interconnected issues, the delivery projects itself requires modern solutions. The purpose of this paper is to identify, analyse and categorize the major factors that affect the last mile delivery projects in e-commerce, food sector, retail sector and so on using total ınterpretive structural modelling approach during the Covid-19. Ten major factors are identified from literature review, and expert opinions are collected from multiple organizations that are involved in the last mile delivery projects. The results indicate that types of goods, achieving routing efficiency and meeting fulfilment timeline are the key factors for last mile delivery projects during the time of Covid-19. This study helps the managers to identify the key factors and to focus on these factors for the successful implementation of last mile delivery project.

“…The nominal group technique in which experts' viewpoints are gathered independently and sent to other experts is normally used to achieve consensus among the chosen experts. There is no specific criterion to determine how many experts would be adequate, yet most previous studies have used three to five experts to develop SSIM (Shrivas and Singla, 2020). Four symbols used to denote the direction of the relationship between the attributes ( i and j ) are V : factor i affects factor j ; A : factor i is influenced by factor j ; X : factors i and j affect each other; O : factors i and j do not affect each other since there is no relation between them.…”

PurposeAlthough several studies have been conducted on the causes of cost overrun, they have mainly assumed that the causes of cost overrun are independent of each other, and few of them scrutinized the complex interrelationships between the causes. To fill the gap, this study aims to investigate the mutual interactions between the causes of cost overrun using interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and proposing strategies to tackle the causes considering their interactions.Design/methodology/approachCritical causes of cost overrun were identified through a comprehensive literature review. In total, 22 key causes are then refined based on the opinions of relevant experts involved in the Iranian building and construction sector. Using the nominal group technique, the causes' interactions were examined and represented via the ISM diagram. The causes were also classified using “matrix cross-reference multiplication applied to a classification (MICMAC)” technique.FindingsThe results showed that price fluctuation, claims, execution delay, delay in payment and change order positioned at the highest level of the obtained model can directly result in cost overrun, and corruption and poor contract management located at the base of the model are two major root causes of cost overruns. It was also concluded that more attention should be paid to the precontract phase of the project to address and prevent corruption and managerial issues deeply rooted in this stage.Originality/valueThe findings of this study provide a clear understanding of how different causes of cost overrun are related to each other and can ultimately assist project managers of different parties in choosing strategies to mitigate cost overrun in building construction projects.

“…The use of the integrated interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) techniques by researchers in the area of construction has been gaining ground in recent years. Quite a number of researchers in the field of construction [26,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] have used the interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) techniques to examine the hierarchical structure between the impediments to a given system or process. Also, the techniques have been used to transform the impediments into clearly visible, easy to understand and quickly interpretable models, based on direct and indirect relationships among the impediments of a system.…”

Coconut palm wood is commonly regarded as a sustainable building material. Nonetheless, its adoption as a green building material by the construction industry is limited, particularly in West Africa. This paper analyses the impediments to the effective adoption of coconut palm wood in residential building construction. The research data was collected from literature reviews, expert-based surveys, and semi-structured interviews with specialists from the construction sector, African Timber Organization, governmental institutions related to forestry and construction, university professors, and researchers in the areas of sustainable building materials and construction. Thirteen crucial impediments were identified and an integrated evaluation of the impediments was conducted using the Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) technique to examine the hierarchical structure of the relations between the impediments. A further technique, Cross-impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to Classification (MICMAC), was used to categorize the impediments from a driving to driven perspective. This categorization provides a unique profile for the impediments, which is different from that of conventional evaluation techniques for evaluating impediments. The findings of this paper offer useful guide to practitioners and policy makers in formulating effective policies, regulations, and standards that will promote the development and wide adoption of coconut palm wood in the construction industry.
