        In the past decades, the cooperation of organizations was based on the short-term to gain maximum profit in a short time. Today, lots of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that has been established in Technology Parks wants to cooperate to have more profit in long term relation. Nowadays, in order to produce a product or to present a service, different organizations should work together. Therefore, supply chain management is one of the best ways to have more profit, long-term relationship and to share the information between Small and Medium Enterprises. In this paper, we try to explain the history of supply chain management and the method of organizing and defining supply chain management and its main features. In addition, we will explain the efficient elements for organizing supply chain management and supply chain operating reference model. Moreover, based on an inspection from different text sources, different fields and the method of descriptive study, we will look at the result of supply chain management in SMEs that include: improvement of customer relationship, improvement of the time from order to the issue of invoices, improvement of physical material relation between suppliers and customers, improvement of the connections with the market, improvement of demand forecasting to meet the order and improvement the process of supply chain. Also, in this paper we will look at how to inplement supply chain management in SMEs. Keywords: Supply Chain Management, Planning, Supply, SCOR Model Manuscript profile

        Many enterprises Nowadays, face with big competing and risk in the market which is the result of innovation in technology and continuous changes of customer needs. In such circumstances, getting direction to agile structure is the fastest way to adapt.Absolutely service provider enterprises are not exception.To identify the model of agility in service provider enterprises, a literature review is done and the result is verified by the experts. Critical success factors of agility in service provider enterprises are identified using exploratory factor analysis in 11 main groups: integrating supply chain components, upgrading quality and flexible services, responsig and sensitiveness to market, customer based design and development of servives, human skills and customer satisfaction development, innovative strategy and solving strategic problems, developing services, dynamic and flexible planning, concerning market and organization financial situation, using IT infrastructure, updating competitors and suppliers data. Using thses factors, managers of these enterprises are able to increase responsibility and market share. Finally critical success factors of agility in service provider enterprises and the relation between them is derived by using fuzzy conceptual mapping. Manuscript profile

        Manufacturing company’s decisions regarding the quantity of production and inventory is a production planning and inventory control problem. Decisions about transferring products are expressed as a transportation and routing problem. Considering these three problems together results in an integrated production-inventory-routing planning (PIRP) which is one of the important supply chain problems. Companies which solve their PIRP problems better can decrease the cost of their products and gain more competitive advantage compared to other competing companies. Based on today’s strict regulations, companies must take into account environmental considerations in addition to economical ones in all their processes, from production until supply. Thus, an appropriate transportation planning can prevent the excessive increase in costs and decrease environmental pollution. Therefore, this study integrates the problem of decreasing environmental pollution with PIRP and develops a green PIRP (GPIRP) problem which efficiently considers the economic and social dimensions of production and supply. This problem is modeled in an integrated manner using the MILP approach. In order to show the applicability of the developed model and its practicability of environmental aspect, a case study is conducted on Ahvaz Sugar Refinery, Iran. Finally, some managerial insights are derived from the computational results. Manuscript profile

        This research identified and mapped a model of critical factors to realize the green supply chain of tourism industry. Studying the literature and research background, effective factors on the emergence of the green supply chain were identified. In the quantitative phase, 100 stakeholders from the tourism industry were selected and were surveyed to identify critical factors in the green supply chain of the tourism industry. Questionnaires were used for data gathering. To analyze the research data, using the statistical analysis and t-test, the coefficient of the significance of the components was determined. To prioritize the indicators and their cause and effect, the Fuzzy Dematel technique was used in the second phase. The results of the analysis showed that all of the 33 identified factors were critical and essential. The analysis of the factors influencing the management of suppliers showed that among the 6 factors, the following three were root causes of the green supply chain: a) providing encouraging services to the supplier to pay attention to and protect the environment; b) considering the environmental characteristics as Quality Requirements Provider; and c) holding meeting with Suppliers. Meanwhile, three other factors are short-term goals in the green supply chain. They included: a) helping suppliers to solve their environmental problems; b) paying attention to environmental principles and adhering to them in holding tenders; and c) efforts to reduce environmental impacts through the timely delivery of supply commitments.

        As one of the top ten industries in the world, tourism plays an important role in the economic cycle, contributing significantly to revenue generation and currency earning. Therefore, this study sought to identify and develop a conceptual model for managing the green supply chain in the tourism industry of Fars province using the grounded theory-based qualitative approach. To this end, the required data were collected through document analysis and interviews with 20 experts who were selected via the snowball sampling method. Moreover, the validity of the study was examined and confirmed by the interviewees and the expert professors. Finally, the collected data were coded through the open coding, axial coding, and selective coding methods and analyzed via the continuous comparison method, based on which the qualitative model of the study was designed. Accordingly, 120 open codes were extracted from the transcribed version of the interviews, which were then organized in terms of 21 axial codes via MAXQDA software, including causal conditions (green processes, customers and other external institutions, green innovation), contextual conditions (driving forces involved in green materials supply, implementation of the waste management system, financial thoughts, and the organization’s costs), intervening conditions (environmental management approaches, green supply chain risks, green suppliers' capabilities, human resources management), phenomenon-based conditions (the improvement of environmental performance, economic factors, operational performance), strategies (management, technology, economics, policy-making), outcomes (green supply chain enablers, credit enhancement, institutionalization of technology equipment and technical knowledge, energy management and optimization).

        Today, many governments around the world are increasingly leveraging advances in information and communication technologies to provide electronic services to their citizens. But estimates indicate that e-government projects will fail miserably, both in part and in whole. Incomplete formation and poor supply chain performance are the most important reasons for the failure of these projects by researchers. Due to the fact that few studies have been conducted in the field of e-government service supply chain and its performance evaluation indicators, this study has studied the e-government service supply chain in Iran by studying the e-customs system. Also, using SMART criteria and ELECTRE I technique, it has identified the performance evaluation indicators of this chain. This study shows that just as the principles of e-supply chain in the manufacturing sector have been proposed by researchers, this concept can be generalized to the public service sector. The results also show that unlike previous studies on performance appraisal indicators, e-government service supply chain indicators have significant differences with traditional service supply chains.
