Abstract :

The purpose of this research is to identify and classify the factors affecting the resilient supply chain strategies in medical centers using Dimetal Gray and ANP techniques. The research was conducted qualitatively and quantitatively, and the factors and sub-factors were extracted through interviews with experts and the foundation's data method. Then, 23 experts determined the influence of factors and sub-factors on each other based on pairwise comparisons, and their importance was determined by the method of network analysis based on Dimetal Gray. The findings of the qualitative part with the foundation's data method, which includes causal, contextual, interventional and phenomenon-oriented factors, showed that the most important factors affecting the strategies "supply chain support system", "management of goods suppliers", "methods of supply chain management", and "risk management" and were ranked by Markus Gray technique. Dimtel's findings showed that "risk management" factors are the most effective and "supply chain management methods" are the most effective. To obtain the weight of the factor using ANP with the help of DEMATEL in this research, based on the general relationship matrix that shows the effectiveness and effectiveness of the factor, A8 (continuous environmental monitoring) as the best strategy for resilient supply chain in medical centers. it's been chosen. Also, the flexibility strategy (A5) and the application of the redundancy strategy (A3) have won the second and third ranks, which the managers of medical centers should pay attention to.
