Abstract :
In the current competitive environment, it is very important to produce and present products of interest to customers in the market so that companies can compete with foreign and domestic competitors, which requires choosing and implementing a suitable and valuable production strategy in order to gain an advantage. It is competitive and more important to make it stable. The aim of the current research is to present a model based on factors affecting sustainable production in the heavy vehicle industry. The mentioned research is descriptive-analytical in terms of the basic purpose and in terms of the research method, and the data collection tool is a semi-structured interview. In this research, the statistical population is the managers and experts of one of the factories in the heavy automotive industry (Iran Khodrodiesel) and the sample number of 31 people was selected by snowball. In carrying out the simulations of the present research with Vensim software, a time horizon of 5 months was considered and the quantitative values and relationships between the variables were determined using a semi-structured interview. In this research, the model based on the factors affecting sustainable production with the systems dynamics approach, including numerous components and indicators, has been displayed in a tree diagram, with the four factors of sustainable supply, lean production, agile production, and production resilience, respectively. They have the most positive impact on the development of sustainable production in the heavy vehicle industry.
