Abstract :

The main purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize the indicators affecting the Supplier’s selection in LARGT and Sustainable Supply Chain in the Food industry of Shahrekord industrial town using Delphi Mhetod. To this end, data were collected in two stages (qualitative and quantitative) using the Sequential Exploratory method. Initially, reviewing the research literature, the components were identified through structured and semi-structured interviews with 11 academic executives and experts selected by theoretical sampling. 14 panelists reached a consensus on the components of LARGT and Sustainable Supply Chain in the qualitative section after four rounds using the Delphi technique and the validity of the qualitative section was also confirmed by Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance (k=0.61). The quantitative data analysis method was done in two descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS and Lisrel software. The panelists identified key components in several formats including 123 key concepts, 26 sub-criteria and 6 main criteria which were Lean, Agile, Resilience, Green, Talent and Sustainable which the highest score of Freedman is related to Sustainable criterion with the value of 5.29 and lowest score was for Resilience criterion with the value of 2.25. The research value is due to the content (using six approaches simultaneously).
