Different enablers in driving power x dependence graph.

Driving enablersFeedback, collaboration and cost optimization, outsourcing management process, information technology, relationship quality, infrastructure and congestion, and financial management are very influential enablers in this study and are only slightly dependent. These enablers strongly motor the system and are generally not be controlled by the environment
Dependent enablersEconomical operating cost, economies of scale and fleet availability, security of products, certainty of loads, delivery unloading time span optimization, and customer service time span are in the dependent zone of this system. These enablers rarely influence, are highly dependent on other enablers, and are also called output enablers
Autonomous enablersReadiness of fleet as per statutory requirements is the enabler in the autonomous zone and is near to centre of gravity of the system. It is called as regulating enabler as it can successively act at times as secondary levers
Linkage zoneNo enabler is there in the linkage zone
