Abstract

Today, one of the main concerns of managers interested in supply chain novel paradigms (SC) is identification of improvement priorities and determination of the focal points to promote the performance of SC. With studying effective practices performance in three echelons of Kalleh SC (first tier supplier, focal firm and first tier distributor), the present paper seeks to identify key components of LARG (Lean, Agile, Resilient and Green) SC and improve them in this company by developing a practical and strategic decision making model. The results show that the greatest gap in Pole Co. is in just-in-time production practices and the smallest gap is in the ability to reduce likely risks. In Kalleh Co., the greatest gap was found in close & long term relationship with suppliers and the least one was in the development of visibilities in SC. The greatest gap in Banichow Co, was quick responsiveness to customers and the least one was the ability to reduce of likely risks
