# Evaluating and Ranking SCPMS Enablers Using ISM and SWARA
## 3 Research Methodology  
SCPMS plays a vital role in accomplishing many strategic objectives of the organization; hence, a systematic methodology must be followed to ensure its success. All enablers must be investigated for their crucial roles and reciprocal relationships with other enablers since SCPMS enablers are crucial to SCPMS deployment. A mixed approach-based methodology is used as it fulfills all the research objectives. Through an extensive analysis of the literature, this article identifies the SCPMS enablers. The identified SCPMS enablers are studied and shortlisted further using the expert group opinion. Additionally, all SCPMS enablers are categorized by MICMAC, verified by the Delphi approach, and modeled for their relationships utilizing ISM relationship modeling tools. Thus, a combination of research approaches has been employed. Three distinct periods, which are each documented in depth, each employed a different study methodology. Phase 1 discusses identifying the SCPMS enablers. To find the SCPMS enablers, a thorough examination of the literature was conducted. The most relevant SCPMS enablers can be chosen from the databases of scientific research using a thorough literature analysis and the use of precise keywords. Utilizing further phases of segregation, shortlisting, and grouping, it is possible to further filter the literature on SCPMS enablers gathered through such a procedure. The significance and degree of applicability of the identified SCPMS enablers to the case problem determines their inclusion or exclusion. Using feedback from an expert group and either traditional brainstorming or value-focused brainstorming techniques, the key SCPMS enablers can be selected. When faced with difficult choices, value-focused brainstorming may be used to generate better possibilities for solutions [54; 55]. There are four steps in the value-focused brainstorming procedure, as depicted in Figure 1.  
Phase 2 focuses on ISM and MICMAC-based modeling. Contextual relationship modeling may be created employing the ISM methodology. A variety of matrices, including the reachability, conical, digraph, and ISM mode matrices, as well as the self-structural self-interaction (SSIM) matrix, can be created by following well-organized techniques. The numerous stages shown in Figure 1 are carried out. Calculating the driven and driving powers can lead to MICMAC analysis using the systematic steps defined in Figure 1. The contractual connection is taken into account while developing SSIM to examine the interaction between the two SCPMS enablers (\(k\) and \(q\)).To represent relationships, 'V' is used when SCPMS enabler \(k\) is directed toward SCPMS enabler \(q\), 'A' is used in a reverse way, 'X' is employed when SCPMS enabler \(k\) and SCPMS enabler \(q\) assist one another, and 'O' is utilized when SCPMS enabler \(k\) and SCPMS enabler \(q\) do not influence each other. SSIM is produced by applying the ISM methodological steps to a contextual connection among SCPMS enablers. The SCPMS enablers identified by the expert group have a contextual link with the SSIM. The initial reachability matrix (IRM) is converted into a binary matrix of SSIM to have 1 and 0. The rules can be used to swap out various symbols such as 'V', 'A', 'X', and 'O'. If the SSIM's (\(k\), \(q\)) entry is 'V', the reachability matrix's (\(k\), \(q\)) becomes 1, and the (\(q\), \(k\)) becomes 0. If the SSIM's (\(k\), \(q\)) entry is 'A', the reachability matrix's (\(k\), \(q\)) becomes 0, and the (\(q\), \(k\)) becomes 1. If the SSIM's (\(k\), \(q\)) entry is 'X', the reachability matrix's (\(k\), \(q\)) entry becomes 1, and the (\(q\), \(k\)) becomes 1. If the SSIM's (\(k\), \(q\)) entry is 'O', the reachability matrix's (\(k\), \(q\)) entry becomes 0, and the (\(q\), \(k\)) entry becomes 0.
