The present study is practical with respect to it` s aim and is a survey one from methodological view point. In order to collect data, questionnaires were used and for selecting sample, stratified random sampling method was used. Statistical methods used for data analysis were mean test and t- test. According to strategic reference point approach, the jobs were classified and they were divided in to two groups of faculty members (official/guest) and non-faculty staff.

Acquisition and transfer of appropriate and modern technologies, enabling developing countries to add to your productivity and thus leads to rapid development of industrial countries. Key performance indicators that measure the dimensions that are important and vital role in the success of present and future, the emphasis and focus. The key performance indicators identified in the technology transfer in industrial heat exchangers and cooling, type or intensity of their relationship and effect of each of these indicators on each other is very important and a very important role in the success rate in this industry will be technology transfer. In this study, using interpretive structural modeling, between key performance indicators affecting technology transfer in Heat exchangers and cooling industry has been analyzed. And using the DEMATEL techniques effect of each of these indicators on each other and on technology transfer has been investigated in this industry.

Establishment of strategic alliances and formation of integrated supply chains is an obligation nowadays. This is mainly forced by the necessity of specialization of businesses as the result of market requirements and tendency of customers to customized products and services. Under present circumstances, a supplier selection approach which is compatible with the long-term objectives and strategies of the enterprise increases corporate efficiency and effectiveness; this leads to a more productive enterprise.This research focuses on the strategic selection of suppliers considering the interrelation of decision data. Here, an integrated structure is built in order to appropriate determination of enterprise strategies as well as their transformation into applicable criteria for supplier selection. This structure employs a combination of an adjusted factor analysis approach with multiattribute decision making techniques within data envelopment analysis framework to evaluate decision alternatives; the alternatives which are not appropriate to be evaluated with traditional approaches of data envelopment analysis due to small number of them. Finally, the presented methodology is implemented in a corporation within Iranian foodstuff industry and its results are validated using a nonparametric statistical test in comparison with an extended model of data envelopment analysis.

Todays, Post Corporation is played an important role to decrease the traffic mass, air pollution and speedup the works. These organizations are classified as a service organization dealing with costumers and staffs. Every days, these organization is faced with large amount of people which standed in queues.Analysis of queuing systems and decrease the UNFAVORABLE effects of expect is, one of the most noticeable subjects in practical mathematic and operation research. This research is followed above trend. Moreover it is helped to post corporation to decrease their problem providing reasonable services to costumers. First, the problem is defined. Next, system of office queuing is recognized.Finally the total office is chosen in Alborz province for starting special study and determining the way of giving service presentation to costumers as well.As a result, a mathematic model is exhibited based on queuing system structure. The results are shown with Enterprise Dynamic simulation software. The most important advantage of this software is, helped to optimize the system and to predict the function. At the end of study, 4 patterns are also proposed based on experts view. Moreover, three indexes are chosen for evaluation. After all, sequence of models is done based on Topsis Procedure.
