Abstract

The present research aimed to design an electric supply chain management model to achieve a world-class home appliance industry. Firstly, the effective indicators in the electronics supply chain in the home appliance manufacturing industry were identified. After that, the identified effective indicators in the supply chain in this industry were prioritized. Then, the relationships between the indicators and their effectiveness and impression are determined. Ultimately, the intensity of the relationships between the variables is determined through the fuzzy dimetal method. Supply chain management brings about world-class development since the first condition for the realization of world-class manufacturing is defined by the flow of materials, information, association, and communication between the company and suppliers. As the home appliance industry is one of the country's most remunerative industries, the current study's significance is that it devotes wider attention to world-class supply chain management, which is rarely investigated. For instance, some of the important dimensions of these industries are (1) The very high volume of world trade: After energy carriers, the largest volume of international trade is for the equipment of this production sector. (2) The low level of pollution and energy consumption means that most of the sub-sectors of these industries are included in the scope of green industries. (3) The ability to make soft power that can turn Iran into a technology hub at the regional and global level in this industry. The findings indicate that it ought to review its production processes to diminish costs as much as conceivable and maximize customer service. The prioritization of the indicators shows that the electronic infrastructure is the top priority. The electronic infrastructure is the primary step in the electronicization of the supply chain. Technocentrism holds the second priority, so customer and supplier technocentrism success infrastructures should be developed. Electronic procurement is placed as the third priority. Electronic procurement has been issued as a new strategic approach to supply chain management to increase performance. Regarding the relationships obtained, it can be stated that electronic infrastructure has the highest intensity of influence on other factors.
