Abstract
Measuring sustainable production indicators is becoming an important environmental activity due to government directives and increasing awareness among the people to protect the environment and reduce waste. Sustainable production indicators can be used to evaluate the effect of different production and management activities and as a result, a reliable mechanism will be created for monitoring sustainable production performance in achieving company's sustainability. The purpose of this paper is to enhance the level of sustainability in Isfahan oil refinery through identifying sustainable production indicators and determining the relationships between them in order to develop sustainable production model and also determining the indicators effects intensity on each other. After reviewing related literature and interviewing with experts, 12 sustainable production indicators in the refinery are identified. Then, using ISM technique relationship between indicators are determined. Also we used fuzzy DEMATEL to determine the intensities of relationships. The results show that implementation of supervision and control, resources with high productivity, technology with high productivity, and optimizing the production schedule to improve productivity are the main indicators in achieving sustainable production in the refinery
