“…However, because the mining industry is such a complicated system, strategic planning and decision making are challenging [23]. It is necessary for mining companies to analyze their internal and external influencing factors and implement the right strategy at the right time and place in order to maintain dynamic competitiveness [24], which can only be achieved through holistic strategic planning. There are few such studies in the context of China's mining development.…”

Deciding on an appropriate development strategy is one of the most crucial aspects of the mining industry’s green transition. This research introduces a novel integrated decision support model that can be applied to analyze various environmental factors and determine development strategies. In this study, a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis is employed from multiple perspectives, including political, economic, social, and technological (PEST), to assess the internal and external factors that influence green mining. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to analyze the factor weights quantitatively, and the fuzzy Measurement of Alternatives and Ranking according to Compromise Solution (MARCOS) method is used to rank and select development strategies. According to the results, “grasp the trend of green development and improve the protection and exploitation level of mineral resources” is found to be the final optimal strategy. Comparative analysis and sensitivity analysis confirmed the accuracy of the model and the case study results.

“…This model is useful for visualizing the structure of complex causal relationships with matrices or digraphs among multiple factors. Many researchers have used the fuzzy DEMATEL in their research spanning over the area of adoption of halal certification (Khan et al , 2019), Indian coal mining industry (Khaba and Bhar, 2017), agile manufacturing (Potdar et al , 2017), information security management and improvement strategies (Ho et al , 2015) and supplier development program (Routroy and Kumar, 2014). Due to uncertainty in responses of multiple stakeholders, the fuzzy DEMATEL is used to adopt over the DEMATEL.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for the identification, categorization and prioritization of operational government-supported healthcare supply chain barriers (GHSCBs).Design/methodology/approachThis study develops a theoretical background for identifying and segregating relevant GHSCBs and proposes a 5W2H (a Toyota production system) with fuzzy DEcision MAking Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) embedded approach to quantify the causal–effect relationships among the identified operational GHSCBs.FindingsSeven GHSCBs (i.e. uncertainty of demand management, lack of continuous improvement and learning, lack of deadline management, lack of social audit, warehousing equipment unavailability, human resource shortage and inadequate top level monitoring) were identified as significant cause group where the government, top management and decision-makers of government-supported healthcare supply chain (GHSC) have to put efforts.Research limitations/implicationsThe results obtained are specific to the GHSC of Indian perspective, which could be extended to global context. However, the proposed approach can be a base and provide a platform to understand and analyze the interactions among GHSCBs.Practical implicationsThe proposed methodology will show the appropriate areas for allocating efforts and resources to mitigate the impact of GHSCBs for successful implementation of healthcare supply chain.Originality/valueAccording to best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study of operational barrier for GHSC in India in specific. The use of 5W2H embedded fuzzy DEMATEL approach for the development and analysis of the theoretical framework of Indian GHSCBs is unique in barrier literature.

“…Moreover, researchers (e.g. Khaba and Bhar, 2017) have recommended its use. Yet, the mining industry is absent from recent, major reviews of the lean production literature (Bhamu and Singh Sangwan, 2014; Samuel et al , 2015; Sreedharan and Raju, 2016).…”

Purpose Using a theory of translation of ideas, the purpose of this paper is to investigate how the mining industry has implemented and practices lean production as well as the form of this practice. Design/methodology/approach The study reviewed the scientific literature on lean production in the mining industry, as well as in the reported practice of the concept in a mining company. The results were then analyzed using content analysis. Findings Lean production has not seen a full implementation in the mining industry. Rather, select practices are focused, though the literature covers several more. The findings suggest that the form and extension of lean production in mining differ from other industries owing to characteristics of the industry itself. Research limitations/implications The scientific literature on the subject is limited. Additional material was used to attempt to offset this. However, there are still blind spots relating to practice that is not reported in the type of material investigated. Originality/value This paper contributes to understanding the evolution of lean production in a unique industry. It suggests why lean implementation may be unsuccessful in this type of industry while also identifying the focal point of its lean production practice.
