The purpose of survey is to recognize the critical role of materials and goods provision for use in the infrastructure system of MRP in industrial organizations to reach their objectives. The article has three parts. The first part presents the theoretical framework of materials requirements processes models, and related components with its literature review.The second part is to analyze how to utilize the MRP system based on model building to decrease the current problems. It uses a questionnaire with 35 questions to get data from experts of the Drilling Dept. The statistical population is the drilling department of NISOC. The procedure uses opinion polling around a multi-dimensions model for detecting latent levels of problems. After testing seven hypotheses and analyzing the findings, some practical recommendations were presented to NISOC, especially to the Drilling Deportment which will need them to improve its MRP systems.

The Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) is one of the most applicable models in the production and inventory control environments. Like other classical production and inventory control models، it is derived on the basis of assumptions that limit the real-world applications.Continuous and constant-rate delivery of orders are some of these assumptions. In this paper، we expand this model by assuming that orders may be delivered discretely in the form of multiple pallets. Under these conditions، we formulate the problem as a non-linear integer – programming model، and propose a new approach to solve it. At the end، we present a numerical example to demonstrate the application of the proposed methodology.

Nowadays, knowledge is one of the most valuable organizational capitals. Rapid changes and knowledge growth have led organizations to use knowledge management for their survival. Therefore, organizations try to identify basic factors for creating knowledge management. Knowledge management focuses on organizational capability. To be successful organizations need a new environment for sharing knowledge and human behavior. Basic factors for pitching knowledge management are information technology, knowledge processes and organizational culture. This research supposes these factors as basic factors and explains the qualitative condition of these factors in National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company.

The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of management in developing and expressing entrepreneurship in the NISOC. Five basic criteria of entrepreneurship were considered, including: creativity and innovation, risk taking, accountability, decision-making ability, and participation. To examine the hypotheses of the study, library research was done, and a questionnaire was used for gathering field data. The questionnaire was developed on the basis of the related theoretical and research literature.The results of the study showed that the management of the company was successful in developing entrepreneurship in criteria like risk taking, accountability, decision making ability, and participation, but was unsuccessful in creativity and innovation. Considering the fact that the company under study was a public one, that and numerous studies showed that the private sector pays more attention to entrepreneurship than the public sector, and since no training program in entrepreneurship was conducted for the employees, it can be said that "the overall performance of the company in entrepreneurship was satisfactory".

The literature suggests that managerial skills in general, and emotional intelligence in particular, playa significant role in the success of managers in the workplace. This study attempts to compare emotional intelligence at managerial levels. Emotional intelligence was measured on the basis of five competencies in the model of Golman (1995). The results indicate that emotional intelligence is different among managers in the organizational levels. This difference is significant in terms of self-awareness, self-regulation, and self motivation, but not in the dimensions of social skills and empathy. Also, this article indicates that the level of emotional intelligence increases in the organizational ladder.

Today's competitive environment needs managers who can make decisions with high concentration and speed. The manager needs information for making decisions and also needs data for access to information. This can be done manually or using a machinery system. In the manual systems there are some problems:Untimed information accessWrong processVolume of workThese problems would prevent realization of management goals and strategies.In contrast to manual systems, machinery systems include information technology (IT) harware and management information system (MIS) which is the software, and analytical instruments of doing jobs. MIS has also the role of changing data to information. Uses of this approach have some advantages such as: High speed and concentration Ability to process large data and informationThis paper tries to illustrate the role of information systems (IS) in organizations and firms. It also analyzes and describes steps of design for using MIS for administrative and finance assistant in Public Universities. At the end, it will compare strengths and weaknesses of manual job and machinery systems in providing direct data and information for managers in organizations and firms.
