Presenting a model for explaining the effect of internal and external organizational decision components on the final price of industrial products with a factor-based approach

The aim of the current research is to provide a model to explain the effect of internal and external organizational decision components on the cost price of industrial products with a factor-based approach. The research method is applicable in terms of its purpose, and, a kind of qualitative and quantitative research of an exploratory type in terms of the process. The statistical population of the research is all experts and informants of the cost price of industrial products, and 35 people were determined as the sample size by the snowball sampling method. Companies' databases such as data related to industrial production and product pricing were used to collect data. Three methods of theme analysis, Delphi technique and factor-based model were used to analyze the data. The software used for the Delphi technique was SPSS version 25, and Netlogo software was used for the implementation and simulation of the factor-based model and its validation. The findings show that the changes in each factor during the period under review have an effect on other factors in the final price, and at the end, the validity of the model was confirmed by the experts. Therefore, the integration of the theory of constraints with factor-based modeling can be used as an effective tool in the cost price of manufactured products, and by means of it, the appropriate selling price of products can be determined and predicted in the short and long term periods.
