The purpose of this study is investigating the effect of supply chain drivers on Qazvin manufacturing companies’ supply chain integration and company performance. The organizational culture has been used as a moderating factor in this relation. The study has 6 hypotheses in which data are gathered with questionnaire form 79 supply chain managers, as required sample, using structural equation model with the partial least square analyzed. The findings revealed that internal drivers have positive impact on supply chain integration. Also none of the dimensions of external drivers have positive impact on integration. As the results show, organizational culture mediates the relation between external drivers and supply chain integration, but does not mediate the relation between internal drivers and integration. Eventually, supply chain integration has a positive and significant impact on company financial and operational performance. The results of this study provide a comprehensive understanding to supply chain managers and lead them to identify effective factors on supply chain integration and improving company performance

In spite of spending too much expenses for acquiring and importing technology in most of the developing countries. And even in most organizations. It can be observed that these technologies are not well absorbed and the technology does not act as the engine of development. One of the main reasons behind this is the inconsistency between the culture of society or organization and the intended technology. In order that technology plays its role appropriately and acts as the engine of development first on one hand the kind of technology should be analyzed and examined closely and then according to that technology the appropriate culture should be developed. On the other hand in acquiring and importing technology to the organization. First the culture of the organization should be analyzed and examined in order to make it congruent with the intended technology. In this article an attempt was made to examine this kind of relation in Iran Khodro industrial group (sales and after sales service organization). In this paper first a brief literature survey on application of operations research in health care systems is presented. Then two problems the optimal allocation of ambulances and the scheduling of nursing personnel are discussed in details.
