        In this research, we identified many criteria for readiness in the supply chain. Then with Utilization of fuzzy Delphi, ideas of experts about criteria gathered in 8 final criteria. Next step had been devoted to prioritization of five suppliers in a company of distribution of cosmetic products based on final criteria with fuzzy VIKOR. The following results were achieved upon analysis of the data gathered for the case: The second supplier achieved the highest degree. The application of the method which selects the evaluating factors according to their values and also their relationship with ranking the suppliers leads to the most realistic results.       Manuscript profile

        Accepting a kind of suitable strategies for supply chain achievement is one of the requirements of a manufacturing company. Organizations to implement the different strategies of the supply chain are required to use information systems. In this regard, this research respecting the different strategies of the supply chain (lean and agile) and information systems strategies (efficiency and flexibility) attempt to examine the effect of these categories on supply chain performance and company. The methodology and the nature of this research is descriptive-survey. The sample population of this research is made up of nisoc’s managers and experts that are more than 2043 persons. By applying the Cochrane's formula, the sample population of this research determined as 231 persons that 222 questionnaires completed and received. In this research, content validity and structure validity have been used and total questionnaire Cronbach's alfa is equal to 0/955 which indicates the high level of reliability. Because of measuring the effect of some dependent and independent variables simultaneously, structure equations method (confirmation factor analysis) and Pierson coefficient test have been used. Results indicate, in term of the correlational coefficient, that the effect of all variables over supply chain performance of the company has been in a high level, but by applying the independent t correlational test and Pierson the main hypothesis and 3 sub-hypotheses confirmed.  Manuscript profile

        An agile supply chain is capable of overcoming dynamic markets and environmental challenges. Therefore, the purpose of this applied descriptive-analytic research was to promote agility in project-based organizations’ supply chain. The research population consisted of a number of experienced experts at Khatam Al-Anbia construction sites from whom a purposeful clustered sample of experts from five sites were selected to participate in the study. The data collection instruments included three questionnaires the validity of which had been initially confirmed by 35 experts with acceptably high Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0/841, 0/810, and 0/792, respectively. The first questionnaire was employed in the initial phase of the study to identify effective components in agile supply chain and the second questionnaire was employed to identify the final criteria.  Further analyses of the data through inferential statistics, SPSS and EXCEL software underscored five major factors and 28 components of agility of supply chain. Next, the data obtained from the third quesitonnaire were analyzed via Demetel Technique to determine the criteria relationships in agility model with Amos-18 software used for model fitting and path analysis. The selected components were categorized into four dimensions of competency, speed, and resilience and information technology. Having delineated the interrelationships among these dimensions and with agility, we obtained a supply chain agility model for Khatam al-Anbia construction site with good fit. The findings indicated resilience and information technology and their sub-components as the most effective components in agility with speed and aptness coming next. Manuscript profile

        In today's environment, the ability of a company to react to the dynamics of the environment and maintain its performance is the main factor of success. Agility refers to a company's ability to react quickly in competitive markets; which is characterized by unpredictability and constant change. One of the basic factors in modern management is the agility of supply chains, which can undoubtedly help companies to sense market changes, as well as simultaneous supply and demand and reduce waiting time. This research was conducted with the aim of identifying and classifying the effective components of supply chain agility in Binalud Neishabour Dairy Products Company.

        The main goal of this research is to identify the most effective and efficient factors of Lars supply chain. This research is applied-developmental in terms of purpose. Factors were extracted by super combination method. Lars supply chain has factors of sustainable supply chain, resilient supply chain, agile supply chain, lean supply chain and 16 different indicators (supplier management, supporting suppliers, multiple distribution channel, waste elimination, just-in-time production, logistics management, continuous improvement, flexibility, competence, speed, communication with customers, responsiveness, agility, economic, environmental and social). Dimtel's questionnaire was designed based on the factors and provided to 15 experts of Yazd tile and ceramic industries. Dimtel method was used to determine the influence of each index. For this purpose, the Dematel questionnaire was completed by professors and experts in this field, and finally, the relationships between indicators were determined in the Cartesian coordinate system. The results showed that economic factors, agility, continuous improvement and flexibility are the most influential, and on the other hand, supplier management is the most influential among the Lars supply chain indicators.
