Designing the pattern of lean supply chain using structural equation technique

Today supply chains are working in an environment that are seeking improvement and decreasing costs and applying alternatives and strategies based on this direction. Lean strategy in one them which helps supply chains for elimination of wastes as the main aim. So, this research aims to design a model for lean supply chain with the emphasis on police environment. This is an analytic-descriptive research from the point of method and practical from the point of end. The statistical population is all managers and specialists of supply chain in Naja and 101 samples were choosed by random sampling. In this research, after designing conceptual model, we applied a researcher made questioner for gathering information and structural equation and PLS software and Friedman test were applied for considering the affections and ranking. The results showed that the dimensions of Naja lean supply chain pattern are as bellow: managerial, production and service, strategic, suppliers and customer orientation.
