The concept of Soft Total Quality Management (STQM) is one of the new approaches which have much concentration and emphasis on the soft and humanitarian aspect of organizations. Indead, quality scholars have always sought to improve and facilitate the separation of soft and hard Factors in TQM philosophy to implement the concepts of TQM in the organizations. This study is about to present a model for the settlement of (STQM) hilosophy, using APQC process in Saman bank, the research method was descriptive-analytical, and also applied one. The research population included all the managers of Saman bank branches in Tehran. Using random sampling method 40 managers were selected. Reviewing the related literature a conceptual model was designed. A researcher- made questionnaire was used to gather the data. Using structural equation modeling and PLS software the data were analyzed. The results showed that there was a relationship between the components of soft TQM and APQC model process.

This research was an applied cross-sectional descriptive survey. The study tried to measure the amount of invincibility of supply chain of Mobarakeh Steet Company in Esfahan. To do so, the basic framework was obtained through a comprehensive review of the related literature; the framework was prepared and verified by experts. Using this framework, the invincibility related to supply chain was obtained. Having sessions with experts and using interviews and questionnaires, the criteria were refined.Using ANP the importance of each criterion was specified. The main criteria, all the risk criteria (0.16) and learning (0.5) accounted for the largest weight. Using grey ARAS supplier Esfahan Mobarakeh steel company was ranked in terms of invincibility and the rank of PARS in the supplier invincibility was located in the first place.

Nowadays, rapid growth of technolog has affected different industries in undeniable way. Considering the importance of TQM and IT in the industry, different approaches have been presented to achieve the productivity. So, using TQM and IT as mediator in small and medium industries in Kerman city has been investigated. The statistical populations were managers and employees in SMEs in Kerman, which added up to 1586 people. Using Morgan's table the sample size was 310 people. The sampling method was random stratified sampling. To gather the data field and library method were used. The research method was descriptive correlational research.To analyze the data, correlation test and structural equations modeling and SPSS and LISREL soft wares were used. The results showed Thet there was a significant effect between the advanced manufacturing technology and productivity in the mentioned industries. While the advanced manufacturing technology through TQM mediator variables and the use of Information technology have more effect on productivity.

Nowadays, Lean, resilientandgreen approachesas the paradigmof supply chain allow theorg anization stooperatecompetitivelyin themarket. Resilience, isthe ability ofthe system toreturntoits original orbetterstate after creatingdisorder.This property can lead to motivation growth for investigating the amount of resilience at the strategic levels due to the risk. This study is an explanation of a model for recognizing the suppliers' selection criteria in supply chain resilience. The main dimentions of stated model have been taken from the theoretical literature review about supply chain resilience which was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The main criteria of the model are: operational, risk control, and supportive- bio environmental criteria. To determine the importance of each of the dimensions of the model the notion of industries experts and university professors and fuzzy non-linear modeling have been used. The results of mathematical modeling showed that the mathematical measures take the lead.

Although, the small and large industries are essentially different in the number of labor Force and the amount of capital, but their optimal production obviously is under the effect of productivity of labor Force. The aim of this study is to analyize and making clear the amount of the effectiveness of Factors on labor Force productivity in small and large industries in Iran during 1994 to 2013.Some of the important Factors that are effective in increasing productivity are: physical capital, human capital, the real wage level, the accumulation research and development (R & D), and the gap between actual and potential production. In this research, using the statistical information from the statistical center of Iran for the ninth industrial groups (I.S.C, Rev, 2) and using panel data method. The results showed that the impact of above Factors (except the gap production) on labor productivity is positive and the amount of them in small industries are more than the large ones. Thus, using the optimum of the studied variables in large industries and improving the performance of them cause the increase in labor production in small and large industries in Iran.

Considering the different aspects of productivity which includes observing correct principles and procedures of doing the job well (efficiency) and doing the appropriate work (impressiveness). Perhaps it is not possible to identify any scale or maximum to achieve productivity, but the important thing is reaching optimization in executing the organization affirs and duties. The main question is what are the most important procedures to lead to the productivity in freight wagons department of railways of Islamic Republic of Iran? To achieve the appropriate response, manpower productivity indicators, capital, energy and all other items were defined, measured and analyzed to specify that the amount of these indicators in comparison with 2005 have been increased in 2005. To identify the productivity obstacles, a questionnaire was used. The results showed that lack of appropriate organizational climate for attraction foreign investment, lack of financial and credit resources for executing the projerct, ambiguous goals and long term programing, amortized and worn- out machineries and repairing equipments, the existances of law and order are some of the most important obstacles that productivity in freight wagons department of railways in Islamic republic of Iran have to deal with.at the end some procedures have been recommended.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between managerial skills and group effectiveness in subordinate offices in Cooperatives, Labour and Social Welfare in Sanandaj city. The research method was correlation survey. The statistical population included all the Cooperative organizations, Labour and Social Welfare and subsidiary organizations in Sanandaj city. Using Cochrane formula 244 people through sample ratio stratified random sampling were chosen as the sample size. To gather the data two researcher made questionnaires were used (managerial skills and group effectiveness). To analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistics the SPSS software, for model fitting and structural equations the LISREL software were used. The results showed that there was a positive significant relationship between the managerial skill and communication, leadership, teaming and decision-making with group effectiveness.

Low foreign and domestic investment, double digit inflation and unemployment rates, massive imports, small share of total tax revenues to GDP.Are all indicants of inappropriate business circumstances in the country? There is a need to distinguish the effective factors to improve these circumstances.In regard to the main aim of the study, ten hypotheses have been proposed. The research method was an applied descriptive survey. The population of the study consisted of all the countries which their data related to ICT and business circumstances indicators are in common with the World Bank data base. The results of the study showed that ICT had a positive effect on starting a business, registering and transferring properties, subscription electricity, getting credit and paying tax easily. The effect of ICT on construction licensee, backing the small share holders, extraterritorial business, binding bonds and bankruptcy have not been verified.
