In this study, a framework for identifying barriers to LSS implementation in supply chains has been developed using the interpretive structural modeling (ISM) method. The ISM technique was used to identify the contextual relationships among the barriers. Barriers were classified based on their dependence power and driving power using MICMAC (Matriced Impacts Croiseś Multiplication Appliqueé á un Classement). This framework will provide a comprehensive understanding of how the barriers of LSS affect each other. The proposed framework has been tested using data from a real-world apparel manufacturing company in Bangladesh.
