About ISM

Interpretative Structural Modeling / Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) is a general purpose analysis and decision support technique. It was invented by John N. Warfield. It provides a structured method for dealing with complex situations. It generates a visual map of the situation (or problem) that is used to obtain new insights, and construct new approaches to the problem at hand. ISM incorporates pair-wise comparison, Transitive Logic and Concept Synthesis to construct a visual map of the situation.

Expert and Element

1. Expert or someone who is an expert in their field, who is the subject who carries out an
assessment of the case being analyzed.
2. Elements are part of the components that make up the ISM modeling technique, which are
obtained based on the results of research and brainstorming with experts in the field.

Structural Self Interaction Matrix
(SSIM)

The Structural Self-Interaction Matrix is ​​a matrix containing relationships
between elements that represent the respondent's perceptions of the objective elements.
The SSIM filling process is expressed in four codes: V, A, X, and O. The VAXO symbol is used to
describe the contextual relationship between two variables.
  1. The symbol V represents a relationship from i to j but not in both directions.
  2. The symbol A represents a relationship from j to i but not in both directions.
  3. The symbol X represents a relationship from i to j and j to i.
  4. The symbol O represents no valid relationship between the variables.

Matrix Available

In the ISM, there are several matrices that represent changes in the SSIM form,
depicting driven and dependent power. Available matrices include the Reachability Matrix (RM).
Reachability Matrix is ​​a matrix that displays changes from SSIM form to binary numbers
to describe how strong the driver power and dependent power are.

Matrix Available

In the ISM, there are several matrices that represent changes in the SSIM form,
depicting driven and dependent power. Available matrices include the Revision Matrix.
Revision Matrix is ​​a matrix that describes changes in the form of RM after the
Transitivity Rule is applied.

Matrix Available

In the ISM, there are several matrices that represent changes in the SSIM form,
depicting driven and dependent power. Available matrices include the Final Matrix.
Final Matrix is ​​the Reachability Matrix after Transitivity Rule, Driver Power, Dependence,
Level and Ranking calculations

Graphics

The graph is an illustration of the placement of Sub Elements on a Cartesian diagram,
so that the driving force (Driver Power) and dependency force (Dependence)
can be analyzed according to MICMAC Analysis.

Structure

Structure is an illustration of the location of sub-elements in a hierarchical level,
so that the relationship between sub-elements can be explained.
