Abstract

Competitive environments in today’s world are characterized by rapid changes and unpredictable markets. The approach concerned with the interaction of the organization, the market, and an external perspective to flexibility, is known as the Supply Chain Agility (SCA). The main purpose of this paper is designing the model of agile supply chain in Fars Nov Cement Company. For achieving this objective and for extracting agility indexes, research literature has been first reviewed in detail, and then a part of identified indexes were subjected to final confirmation according to the opinions of experts and Fuzzy Screening Method. After this stage agility model of supply chain was designed for this company based on opinions of experts and using Structural Interpretive Modeling (ISM) method. The results of this research show that proper planning and network orientation indexes form the basis of agility in supply chain are acted as a foot-stone of model. These two indexes also have the highest importance among other indexes of model.
