As firms move toward environmental sustainability, management must extend managements efforts to improve environmental practices across the supply chain. The selection of a suitable green supplier according to green supply chain management criteria (GSCM) is essential for the sustainable development of manufacturing firms. The objective of this study was to select an optimal alternative in the ...

failure mode and effects analysis (fmea) is a method based on teamwork to identify potential failures and problems in a system, design, process and service in order to remove them. the important part of this method is determining the risk priorities of failure modes using the risk priority number (rpn). however, this traditional rpn method has several shortcomings. therefore, in this paper we p...

The aim of this paper is to understand the structure and dynamics of schemata and to describe information filters that dampen weak and potentially vital signals during a sense making process. We apply complexity theory, cognitive decision making theory and strategic management theory to describe both the information filters and the outcome of the sensemaking process, the schemata. Two research ...

Introduction: One of the essential and critical elements for efficient and effective management of emergencies is anticipation and identification of possible types of emergencies. As such, a framework for anticipating and identifying emergencies was designed and tested in two process industries in the form of a case study. Material and Methods: At first, methods for identifying emergency prepa...
