This paper highlights the barriers encountered mainly in Indian manufacturing industries during their information sharing in supply chain management. Here we have identified the barriers as well as modeled them for finding out the dependency power and driving power of all the barriers encountered in all types of manufacturing industries by using interpretive structural modeling (ISM) technique. Information sharing is the power of supply chain. Today's need is to make effective information sharing (IS) but the main difficulty occurs when a lot of barriers come into existence and there exists an ambiguity when it is not known which barriers to be eliminated or reduced first. This paper helps to identify and makes hierarchy of barriers according to their dependency and driving power.

Abstract


This paper highlights the barriers encountered mainly in Indian manufacturing industries during their information sharing in supply chain management. Here we have identified the barriers as well as modeled them for finding out the dependency power and driving power of all the barriers encountered in all types of manufacturing industries by using interpretive structural modeling (ISM) technique. Information sharing is the power of supply chain. Today's need is to make effective information sharing (IS) but the main difficulty occurs when a lot of barriers come into existence and there exists an ambiguity when it is not known which barriers to be eliminated or reduced first. This paper helps to identify and makes hierarchy of barriers according to their dependency and driving power.
