Document Type : Technology

Abstract

The aim of this article is to identify the various solutions, which are effective in the adaption of the knowledge management in the supply chain of the Golsar Fars sanitary ware company. To do so, first, by studying the thematic content, the various kinds of solutions, concerning the previous researches are identified, and by using the content validity, those solutions that are related to the sanitary ware companies is extracted. Lastly, by using the interpretive structural modeling, the mutual relations between the solutions are specified, and the effectiveness and impressibility level of them on each other is determined. According to the achieved results, the solution of the use of IT system to present the knowledge, positive management and leadership, and use of supplier development programs have the greatest influence and least impressible according to other solutions. So that driving power of these solutions are 10, 8 and 6 respectively. Also mutual learning for effective knowledge sharing among supply chain solutions has got greatest influence from others. Indeed, dependency of this solution is 10. None of solutions belonged to autonomous variables and categorized in dependent and independent region. Based on ISM graph, it must be demonstrated IT system for well-establishing knowledge management before implementing other solutions.
