Abstract
This study explores the different soft dimensions that affect the incorporation of sustainability practices in thermal power supply chains. Using a blend of literature exploration and the views of experts from academia and thermal power plants, 14 soft dimensions of sustainability were identified in the Indian scenario. Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) was primarily applied to determine the structural interactions among these factors, with Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) employed later to establish the strength of these interactions. As per the analysis, ‘Scale of commitment for SSCM implementation’ and ‘Inclusion of SSCM practices in organisation’s vision and mission’ are the most influential factors in implementing sustainability practices in Indian thermal power supply chains. Revelations of this research are expected to inform industrial managers and experts about the importance and impact of considering soft dimensions as part of their decision-making related to sustainable supply chain management to achieve improved and sustainable operations.
