Identifying & prioritizing the effective factors of supply chain resilience in the support system of Islamic Republic of Iran Navy

A review of logistics history shows that the organization of military forces and their use on the battlefield has been a function of technological advances. Resilience as an interdisciplinary technological concept in various fields such as ecology, engineering, psychology, etc. has always been considered and after the terrorist attacks of September 11 has become doubly important and has entered the supply chain literature more quickly. The use of resilient strategies is important in gaining the competitive advantage for all organizations including military organizations and to a large extent ensures the effective performance and sustainability of supply chains in the Iranian navy. The present study has a mixed approach and is of exploratory type and is also applied in terms of purpose.In the qualitative part of the research, after conducting library studies and survey of scientific and empirical experts in this field, the supply chain framework is identified in three dimensions including: upstream supply chain (Iranian navy supplier, interface supply chain (deputy and commander of Iranian navy logistics), downstream supply chain (Iranian navy areas and bases) and also is presented in the form of a conceptual model. After performing the qualitative steps, the conceptual model of the research has been tested through SPSS and PLS and while presenting the resilience model of the supply chain of Iranian navy support system, the necessary suggestions have been presented according to the prioritization of the components by Friedman test.
