Provide a model for evaluating sustainable production performance in the automotive industry (case study: Iranian automotive industry)

The automotive industry is one of the most important manufacturing industries in the world and in Iran this industry is known as the locomotive of other industries. However, the products of this industry have detrimental effects on the environment, and today, apart from the traditional view of the performance of organizations, other issues such as environmental and social issues have become important for the success of the organization; Therefore, having a model to evaluate sustainable production performance in this industry is very important. The purpose of this study is to identify the indicators and present a model to evaluate the performance of sustainable production in the Iranian automotive industry. In order to review the opinions and conduct interviews in this research, 10 first-rate experts in the automotive industry have been randomly selected. The research was carried out in three main phases: identification of indicators with Meta-synthesis, screening of indicators with fuzzy Delphi and finally modeling by Interpretive Structural Modelling method. After performing fuzzy Delphi, 5 criteria and 20 indicators were identified and in the modeling phase of training programs for employees and reliability was identified as the cornerstone of the model and organizational culture as the most affectability indicator. According to the model, it is necessary to pay attention to all the identified criteria (economic, environmental, social, managerial and technological) to achieve sustainable production, and all different aspects of knowledge should be used in this direction.
