The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between comprehensive productive maintenance, TQM, supply chain management, learning organization characteristics and operational performance. In order to conduct research operations, the conceptual framework of the research was first presented by studying the theoretical foundations. In the next stage, by compiling and distributing a questionnaire among 180 people from the statistical population of the research consisting of senior, middle and operational managers aware of the subject under study, export companies of Golestan province were distributed randomly, the information needed to test research hypotheses was collected. Finally, 146 completed return questionnaires were covered by the structural equation modeling technique based on the partial least squares method. The results obtained based on this technique showed that the maintenance and repair of comprehensive productivity has a positive effect on total quality management, while the maintenance and repair of comprehensive productivity alone could not achieve an acceptable result to achieve operational performance and requires comprehensive quality management. . Another result obtained indicates the positive effect of total quality management and supply chain management and the mediating role of supply chain management in achieving operational performance between the two variables of total quality management and operational performance. In addition to these results, it was found that total quality management has a positive effect on the learning organization and the learning organization has an important role between total quality management and operational performance of export companies in Golestan province.

Companies, as one of the most prominent features of today's societies, are rapidly changing and evolving, and in the current situation, improving the innovation capabilities is one of the main goals of any living and active organization. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of social capital on innovation capabilities in supplier-buyer relationships by of opportunistic and intellectual property risks. The statistical sample in this study contains 95 of supply chain managers which are active in the escalator and elevator industry. The collected data were analyzed by using partial least squares method and Smart PLS software. The findings illustrate positive and significant effect of social capital on innovation capabilities (and indirectly through intellectual property risk). Opportunistic and intellectual property risks also have a significant negative impact on innovation capabilities. The results of this study for managers reveal the fact that investing in social capital in a buyer-supplier relationship not only does not hurt but also achieves a competitive advantage through innovation capabilities.
