Assessing Environmental Performance in the Banking Industry: Moving Towards Green Banking

Abstract

This paper aims at evaluating the barriers of implementing effective Configuration Management System (CMS) for Esfahan Oil Refinery Company (EORC)’s projects. CMS is one of the fundamental project management systems in business and production systems. The paper performs a document review as well as expert elicitation to extract required information to achieve the research objective. For expert elicitation, the most important technique is Delphi. Moreover, the major employed analytical model is structural analysis, by applying MICMAC software. The research findings show that for implementing CMS in the EORC, among 19 diagnosed items, the three first-ranked barriers are lack of senior management support for CMS, lack of resources, and absence of practical CMS tools. The authors hope the findings of this paper help the EORC’s managers and policy makers, to facilitate the platforms to establish CMS in the refinery.
