The enablers of the perishable food supply chain have not yet been explored. In this paper, a bibliometric systematic literature review has been conducted to identify the articles related to the perishable food supply chain. Next, with these identified articles, a map is created with bibliographic data using Vosviewer network visualization software, and then the enablers were identified by conducting keyword co-occurrence analysis. Later, a total interpretive structural modeling (TISM) is employed to analyze the interrelationships among enablers and then determine each enabler\u2019s hierarchies, further representing them in a diagraph. Finally, the identified enablers are classified using cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) analysis, and the graph is plotted. The results obtained from the deterministic assessment model provide the critical enablers for the perishable food supply chain. The obtained critical enablers and their hierarchies provide valuable insights for researchers in the context of perishable food supply chain for further study.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/app12094503","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,29]],"date-time":"2022-04-29T16:49:57Z","timestamp":1651250997000},"page":"4503","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Identification of the Critical Enablers for Perishable Food Supply Chain Using Deterministic Assessment Models"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6762-6671","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Malleswari","family":"Karanam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, NIT Warangal, Warangal 506004, Telangana, India"}]},{"given":"Lanka","family":"Krishnanand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, NIT Warangal, Warangal 506004, Telangana, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3744-1315","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vijaya Kumar","family":"Manupati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, NIT Warangal, Warangal 506004, Telangana, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6048-5220","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Antosz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics, Rzeszow University of Technology, Powsta\u0144c\u00f3w Warszawy 8, 35-959 Rzesz\u00f3w, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4917-2474","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose","family":"Machado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, School of Engineering, University of Minho, 4804-533 Guimaraes, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1127","DOI":"10.1007\/s10479-018-3071-0","article-title":"Cold chain distribution: How to deal with node and arc time windows?","volume":"291","author":"Zhang","year":"2020","journal-title":"Ann.
