        The purpose of this study is to present a green supply chain model for dairy products with emphasis on customer satisfaction. The statistical population of the study consists of university professors and experts in the field of marketing and food and dairy industries of Iran who have been selected by purposive sampling. Sampling continued until the theoretical saturation stage. The value of ICC coefficient was also approved to determine the reliability of the measuring instrument. Finally, 10 questionnaires and interviews with experts were used. The interpretive structural modeling approach is used to present the model and the network analysis process is used to prioritize the criteria. Findings showed that the factor of customer satisfaction in relation to the research topic and the presentation of the green supply chain model of dairy products is more effective In contrast, the factors of green innovation have the most, green entrepreneurship, green performance, internal green actions and external green participation have the most impact and the least impact. Also, the results of Mick Mac analysis showed that 7 factors related to the presentation of the green supply chain pattern of dairy products in terms of permeability and dependence are divided into three categories of infiltrators, dependent and autonomous. Finally, the prioritization of criteria showed that customer satisfaction has the highest weight among the criteria of the green supply chain of dairy products 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.
