Investigating Additive Manufacturing Enablers in SMEs: An ISM-MICMAC and SEM based Framework

Key Points

This research aims to identify and analyze the enabling factors for additive manufacturing in small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Applied ISM (Interpretive Structural Modeling) to identify relationships among factors.
Utilized MICMAC (Matrix of Cross Impact Multiplication Applied to Classification) for analyzing the influence of enablers.
Employed SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) to assess the framework's validity.
Identified key enablers that support the adoption of additive manufacturing in SMEs.
Proved the interrelationships among enablers with interpretive modeling techniques.
Demonstrated significant pathways that can enhance manufacturing capabilities through the framework.
