Abstract :
In the current situation of the country, the sanctions and its consequences against the country's economy (difficulty importing raw materials, increasing exchange rates, increasing prices, inflation, economic stagnation and increasing production costs) have caused producers to develop The quantity and quality of their products and especially in the field of financing the supply chain of their products face many problems. Therefore, the current research was conducted with the aim of designing the model of the financing chain in the household appliance assembly industry. In terms of the purpose of this study, it is a type of developmental and exploratory research that was conducted in a qualitative manner using thematic analysis method. The statistical population of this research consists of the sources that were used to analyze the theme. And in order to strengthen the validity of the research, the opinions of supply chain experts and professors were used in the evaluation of the findings. The sampling method is purposeful. Based on this, after searching the databases, 147 sources, including books and articles, were identified and downloaded, and a total of 51 sources contained related codes, which were considered as the selected sample of the research. The results of theme analysis identified 151 basic themes, 43 organizing themes, and 13 comprehensive themes, which were presented in the framework of the assembly industry financing chain model.
