        Nowadays, due to the increasing rate of competing in global markets, reducing the cycle time of products and accelerating rate and variety in customer needs, the organizations should improve their performance to the world-class level. These factors confront the organizations to some challenges like the intrش and extra organizational transactions, the necessity of continuous evaluations and the huge volume of information. So, it is a must to introduce and use some tools to overcome the above obstacles in reaching the main factors and standards of world-class performance Office automation as one of these tools includes all the electronic systems which establish and facilitate the intra and extra organizational relationships. The purpose of this paper is, investigating the effect of this technology on overcoming the organizational obstacles to reach the world class levels which has done in Iranian organizations that use office automation technology and the effect of it is tested with the validity of six statistical hypotheses.This research uses a descriptive and survey methodology which has done by using the confirmatory factor analysis on the responses of the 100 questionnaires distributed among the experts in Iranian organizations using this technology in their business. The results of this research show that applying this technology in Iranian organization effect on the quality improvement, reducing the duplication and waiting time and improving the world-class performance, while it does not effect on the flexibility and the competitive price of the products.   Manuscript profile

        AbstractIn the current era, one of the most important elements for the survival of the industry is to take advantage of a vision based on sustainable development. World-class manufacturing as a model of operational excellence transforms industry-related paradigms, so achieving sustainable world-class manufacturing components based on the localization approach in the automotive industry can be important solution in the field. The evolution of industry should be considered. This article is practical in terms of purpose and descriptive-exploratory in terms of performance. At the first time, the most important indicators of the world-class sustainable manufacturing model were identified based on the opinions of experts, and then the indicators were screened, after that, the data were analyzed to determine the relationships and how the factors affect each other. Finally, the prioritization of indicators is presented as the output of the model. The results show, in order to achieve sustainable production in the automotive industry, more attention needs to be noticed to the environmental dimension as one of the most important and effective dimensions of sustainable production and other barriers play a significant role in implementing strategies related to it.Keywords: Sustainable Production, World Class manufacturing, Sustainable Development, Automotive Industry Manuscript profile
