Despite the recognized importance of strategic alignment for competitiveness and quality management maturity for operational excellence, a significant literature gap persists in systematically integrating these concepts. This study addresses how to systematically align strategic alignment dimensions with quality management maturity. Using a systematic literature review and thematic analysis, 843 documents were screened, resulting in 47 articles for data coding and analysis. The primary contribution is the "Cross-mapping Table of Strategic Alignment and Quality Management Maturity Dimensions," which delineates interrelationships between six strategic alignment dimensions (skills, governance, value, communication, stakeholder participation, and scope) and seven quality management maturity dimensions (context, leadership, process management, resource management, performance analysis and evaluation, and improvement, learning and innovation). The research provides an integrated framework elucidating interaction mechanisms between these domains. Practically, it offers managers a diagnostic tool for assessing organizational status and developing simultaneous enhancement strategies for both quality maturity and strategic alignment. This framework fosters a paradigm shift in managerial approaches and facilitates leveraging existing platforms to strengthen the interaction between strategic and quality management systems, ultimately supporting sustained organizational excellence.

For performance evaluation of supply chain, having a comprehensivemodel with reliable data is useful. This can help to improve the entirechain. In this paper a model is presented, according to the nature ofnetwork and multi-stage supply chain, that able to evaluate theperformance of the entire chain in the form of a mathematical modeland using the financial, knowledge, participation and responsemeasures of the supply chain. In the first part, Indicator sat threelevels; strategic, process and operational, considered and survey themodel verification with Factor Analysis. In the second part, Networkdata envelopment analysis model is used. This paper is the result ofresearch related to supply chain of pharmaceutical companies inTehran Stock Exchange and 115 expert sand senior executive shavebeen questioned as sample. There search results show that strategiclevel with a weight of 0.98 is the most important performance leveland Process and operational levels are respectively 0.97 and 0.87weight. 4chainsof 28 chains studied, have a complete performance and0.43 is the lowest observed performance.

Creating value for stakeholders with maximum productivity is a goal obtained by lean enterprise. In this paper designing comprehensive and valid assessment model is observed for lean enterprise, after reviewing literature and comparing assessment models of lean enterprise to each other, the conceptual research models was designed by considering assessment models of lean enterprise and also APQC framework for classifying the processes in three dimensions: Enablers, Business Processes and Business Results. For this, the three main Iranian automakers Iran khodro, SAIPA and Pars khodro have been assessed by performing a field research through their managers’ viewpoints. Next, the research model and impressing the model dimension on each other have been considered and validated by structural equation modeling. Therefore, it has been used from conformity factor analysis, path analysis and t-value. Shanon Entropy has been used in order to weight the components and variables of the model. The results obtained shows that enablers impress on business results through business processes and there are meaningful relations among them. In addition to impress triple model dimension on each other, their factors have a meaningful relationship with each other. In other words, we cannot achieve the lean enterprise model without making strong links between its factors and components, and it is necessary to create integration within its components and factors.

Although the importance of Agility in supply chain in many different industries is clear, and being responsive, customer oriented and, flexible is obvious in management and organizations, Iran big oil companies do not pay enough attention to designing and implementation of their supply chains. The purpose of this article is conceptualizing and defining significant criteria and attributes for Supply Chain Agility Evaluation and measurement in National Iranian Oil Company the case of NISOC. For that acceptable literature review, qualitative research methods such as Delphi and case study research and quantitative methods such as statistical and structural equation modeling (SEM) have been used.

Building a research questionnaire and using assessment tools play a crucial role in social, management and behavioral sciences. Scales and questionnaires are deemed wrongly as the same tools, but in spite of the similarities that are basically and technichally different. Although, making a research scale or questionnaire may seem quite an easy job for son researchers, gathered results by these tools are normally miles away fro the reality. By this token, it necessitates some technical skills and scientif background. This article is to study the likert Scale, introduced by R. Likert in 193 as the most commonly used assessment tools and the most recent published researches' findings are explored to build and statically analy: the produced results developed by likert Scale.
