In this paper, the study of factors and variables that cause problems in the process of determining unused items in the organization have been identified and through prioritization and suggestions, measures were taken to reduce these problems and improve the process resulting in quantitative and qualitative improvement of the system. This research is descriptive-analytic in the field of applied ones based on survey method and research-made questionnaire was used to collect information. Structural and organizational damages, processes and methods of determining the organization were researched by asking 114 people, including experts and authorities. Results showed that not using employed staff in determining specialized courses inside and outside the organization, lack of efforts to improve the level of education of the staff in the system, proper use of modern tools and equipment, lack of precision of authorities to maintain the optimal use of unused items until final determination, lack of proper management for optimal use of available space for loading and unloading items, lack of repair, rehabilitation and optimization in order to improve the life of items and lack of coordination between commanders and authorities in the process of assigning items to other classes inflict damage that, finally, suggestions were put forward to improve the status of the organization.

The present study has been made with the aim of damage identification of storekeeping system of common logistics items in a defense industrial unit based on trifurcation pattern. Therefore, it is considered applied in terms of conclusion, descriptive in terms of aim and sectional in terms of time. After studying the history of issues and reviewing available patterns and formation of theoretical framework, important variables of the research were identified and the conceptual model and research hopotheses were recognized. To measure the variables, a researcher-made questionnaire has been used that the validity of its contents has been approved by intelligentsia and its Cronbach's alpha coefficient has been measured to evaluate its reliability. The case study in this research consists of 127 logistics personnel of industrial defense unit chosen by random sampling method. The result of research hypotheses, with the help of single-dimensional T-test and Fridman, shows the convenience of structural factors situation and inconvenience of contextual and behavioral factors situation. The most important damage of structural factors was identified as institution complexity. The most important damage of contextual factors consist of institutional culture, status, and credit, past turnover and the most important damage of behavioral structure are management and leadership, information system, absorption, sociability, education, protection and conservation, performance evaluation, exerting and investigating complaints. Finally, based on achieved results, suggestions and solutions were given to subsequent managers and researchers.

Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) software is an incredibly valuable tool for organizations that perform maintenance across various industries to decrease repeatable failures using knowledge management system. In this paper CMMS software is properly set up to investigate maintenance of gasoline outboard engines. Firstly new CMMS concept is introduced with its implementation method. Then failure status of outboard engines are evaluated for root causes analysis. Results show that 70% of failures were done due to two factorsthat have good agreement with Pareto principle. Finally life of outboard engine is improved more that 350% using some technical prevention with training activities.

The present research has been done with the aim of anyalyzing inner-organization factors affecting Green supply chain management using DimtelFuzzi’ s technique and extraction of affecting and affected factors and the most significant inner-organization factors affecting supply chain management of gas company of Qazvin province. Therefore, after identifying key inner-organization factors affecting Green supply chain management through the review of its literature and collection of experts’ opinions, a conceptual model containing four factors were presented. Then, the effect of these factors on the company were verified by collecting the opinions of 70 experts accompanied by a questionnaire and confirming the reliability of data using coefficient cronbach’ s alpha in SPSS software. The normality of the data were verified by using a statistical test called Kolmogorof-Smirnof and the favourability of factors were evaluated by using mean test and finally all the factors were confirmed. In the end, regarding the sensitivity and importance of priotization of factors from the aspect of affecting and being affected in the company, the aforesaid factors were evaluated through distributing questionnaires among 15 people, including experts and managers and using DimitelFuzzi's technique in Excel software. The final output of DimitelFuzzi's technique shows the extraction of inner-organization factors "Process Integration" as the most effective element in Green supply chain management company and " Common Operation Management" as less effective one in the second place. Also, the factor "Communication Management" is considered as the most important factor according to the extent of its affecting and affected feature and "Common Operation Management" as the next important one. Therefore, more important factors are required to receive more attention by the managers in the future in order to achieve competitive advantage of Green services and meet the needs of customers.

Agility is one of the necessities of information era in producing industries. The message of modern producing technologies is to abolish current methodologies. The necessity and importance of having agility in most industries is to meet new customers’ needs and respond to their requests. The increasing change of new products and services in markets is obvious in short periods. Therefore, the present paper aims at identifying and ranking important indices in making the supply chain active in automotive component manufacturing industry in Tehran province and presenting a workable solution to gain more advantages in competitions. This research is pragmatic in terms of purpose and surveying in terms of method. Data collection has been done using library, Latin and internal references. The statistical population includes 120 people from managers and senior staff in Tehran province. The research measurement instrument is a developed questionnaire on Likert scale spanning (1-5) and simple random sampling has been used to choose the test material. To determine the questionnaire, the first sample volume is 30 people based on experts' opinions To determine the reliability, Cronbach's alpha has been applied using SPSS software with the value of more than 0. 87. To analyze the data, networking analysis process and Vicor has been used to specify the internal relationship among indices in order to determine their influence and ranking. Findings show that complexity index process and market demands have the highest priority in proportion to other factors. Results show that managers are capable of concentrating on significant indices to implement necessary measures in case of any problem or possible bankruptcy.

The importance of system thinking in the organization and its role in business and competition has encouraged many researchers to consider it in their researches. System thinking helps managers to see organizations as stable models with specific boundaries and gain information about their resistance towards changes. The objective of this research is to survey on the relationship between system thinking dimensions with managers' business and competitive intelligence of industrial companies. The research methodology is descriptive – survey of correlation type and the research population consists of managers of industrial companies who are 120 people. According to Kerjcey and Morgan table and simple random sampling method, the sample size is 92 people. Data gathering instrument in this research is Questionnaire which uses 3 questionnaires of Goldman's system thinking, Prowiche's business intelligence, and Fahi's competitive intelligence. Cronbach's alpha of all variables was over 0. 7. For analyzing data, SPSS software was used. Research findings showed that system thinking dimensions predict the variance of 3% of business intelligence variable and 41% of competitive intelligence variable. Research findings also showed that system thinking dimensions have a direct and positive relationship with business intelligence and specifically managers'competitive intelligence
