Modelling the drivers of solar energy development in an emerging economy: Implications for sustainable development goals

Assessing the challenges to medical waste management during the COVID-19 pandemic: Implications for the environmental sustainability in the emerging economies

“…From the 17 challenges ranked in Table 3 , the 12 most significant challenges, whose weights were greater than 0.0250 [ 39 ] were considered for further analysis using ISM and MICMAC methods. The five least significant challenges – “Lack of safe disposal site (OC4)”, “No waste tracking system (TC2)”, “Inadequate storage capacity (OC3)”, “Lack of organizational commitment (MC5)”, and “Insufficient skilled manpower (MC4)” were excluded in the subsequent ISM-MICMAC analysis.…”

“…The BWM formulated by Professor Jafar Razaei in 2015, is one of the recent and exclusive MCDM techniques [ 61 ]. This tool has drawn much attention from researchers and practitioners for solving complex real-world problems [ 39 , 62 ]; Vafadarnikjoo et al, 2020). In this method, before preparing pair-wise comparison matrices, the best and worst criteria are identified which gives the decision-makers a clear view of the importance of evaluation.…”

“… Electric vehicle industry Vehicle performance and reliability were identified to be the most significant driver Principal Component Analysis (PCA), ISM-MICMAC [ 37 ] Simulating and evaluating Green Lean Six Sigma success elements for the Indian healthcare facilities. Healthcare industry Management's commitment and financial availability were the most critical success factors ISM-MICMAC [ 38 ] Figuring out what makes an island nation a competitive sports tourist location Tourism industry Government support and Destination political stability were found to be the major factors Fuzzy Delphi, ISM-MICMAC [ 39 ] Modeling the drivers of solar energy development in an emerging Economy The solar and renewable energy sector The favorable geographical location in terms of solar Irradiation was identified to be the most important driver BWM, ISM-MICMAC [ 40 ] Evaluating the factors for sustainable supplier selection in the steel industry Steel industry Reputation and the supplier position was found to be the most crucial factor BWM, TOPSIS, ISM-MICMAC [ 41 ] Analyzing operational Hazards in heavy fuel oil-based power plants Heavy Fuel Oil-based power plants Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and Training were identified as the two most critical hazards FAHP, FTOPSIS, ISM-MICMAC [ 42 ] Analyzing barriers to the sustainable supply chain in the apparel & textile sector Apparel and textiles sector Poor supplier performance was determined as the most significant barrier ISM, Fuzzy MICMAC, DEMATEL [ 43 ] Mapping interactions among green innovations barriers in the manufacturing industry Manufacturing industry …”

Evaluating barriers to sustainable boiler operation in the apparel manufacturing industry: Implications for mitigating operational hazards in the emerging economies

“…Li et al [17] suggested operating a boiler with renewable energy sources to reduce environmental hazards. However, Bangladesh's renewable energy sources are not yet well-adopted [43]. Roushan [44] depicted that utilizing waste fabrics as a fuel instead of conventional fossil fuels can be cost-effective for boiler operation.…”

Circular Supplier Evaluation and Selection Using Hybrid McDm Methods: Case of the Steel Manufacturing Industry

“…Along with cost-cutting, environmental protection and minimizing the environmental impact of business operations are two other growing concerns [5,6]. This motivates numerous sectors to employ sustainable business methods while interacting with the supply chain.…”
