Also in this research determination and ranking of these performance measures and their influence on waste minimization is conducted.

Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) methodology is applied to the classification of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) according to the priority of their importance and the correlation between them and their impact to waste minimization.

Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient is employed to assess the reliability of performance measures to minimize waste, and increase customer satisfaction.
