	Mor et al. [2], Mor et al. [3], and Mor et al. [4]	Maintaining effectiveness and sustainable practices in the food processing companies can be perceived through transformation, distribution channel cooperation, and eradication of unpredictability together with environment friendly capabilities. More attention is required to examine the crucial trends, drivers, and factors of the dairy companies. Moreover, nowadays, the dairy companies should be capable for research & development (R & D) ability, technological capability, economic growth, financial capability, maintaining government policies, etc.
	Bhardwaj et al. [5]	The most essential development of the dairy company is to upgrade their planning, regulation, and determination so that they can fulfill the good quality, stability, and security grades of the transport merchandise.
	Mor et al. [6]	To be competitive, the companies should apply a scope of sustainable processes such as reuse of products, recycling of products, green technology, green packaging, eco-friendly.
	Mor et al. [7]	Mor et al. stated that the greater competency in dairy sector is the outcome of supply chain processes loyal towards good quality of products, flexible in delivery processes, reliability, normal price of products, etc.
	Parthiban et al. [8], Chen et al. [9], and Girubha et al. [10]	They applied ISM technique to determine the relations among the factors in the process of the selection of suppliers.
	Kumar et al. [11]	They implemented the ISM modeling from the professionals to choose variables in the process of the vendor selection.
	Gupta et al. [12]	They applied interpretive structural modeling to assess third party logistics providers.
	Raut et al. [13]	They developed ISM to identify the critical success factors of sustainable supply chain management practices in the context of oil and gas industries.
	Panigrahi et al. [14]	They analyzed interactions among the enablers of green supply chain management using interpretive structural modeling.
	Li et al. [15]	Analyzed risks assessment in thermal power plants using ISM methodology.
	Ahmad et al. [16], Farooq et al. [17], and He and Chen [18]	A number of previous studies integrated ISM and MICMAC to assess the criteria of multicriteria decision-making problems in various fields, to rank the alternatives or select the most suitable alternative.
	Thamsatitdej et al. [19] and Zayed and Yaseen [20]	ISM has been used for determining the contextual interactions among the criteria or factor analysis in the field of sustainable supply chain management.
	Tan et al. [21]	They applied ISM technique in evaluating barriers to building Information modeling (BIM) implementation in China’s prefabricated construction.
	Singh and Gupta [22]	They developed a framework for sustainable maintenance system by implementing the techniques of ISM-fuzzy MICMAC and TOPSIS.
	Bakhtaria et al. [23]	Bakhtaria et al. implemented the ISM model and fuzzy AHP technique in evaluating industry 4.0 implementation challenges.
	Warfield [24]	The ISM technique was given by Prof. J. Warfield [24]. He stated that, in ISM technique, the word interpretive is used in which the investigators identify, explain, clarify, translate, determine, and opt the variables. The word structural is used in which the investigators can construct the simplified structure by modifying the complex structure. The word modeling is used in which the investigators can represent a directed graph by the simplified structure so formed.
	Dube and Gawande [25]	He analyzed green supply chain barriers using integrated ISM-fuzzy MICMAC approach.
	Yadav and Singh [26]	He developed an integrated fuzzy-ANP and fuzzy-ISM approach using block chain for sustainable supply chain.
	Liu et al. [27]	He analyzed on influencing factors of cross border e-commerce supply chain resilience based on integrated fuzzy DEMATEL-ISM techniques.
