The Effects of Supply Chain Sustainability on the Energy Efficiency

The purpose of the current research was to know the impact of sustainability on the energy consumption of Asalouye plants. Studies conducted in the world regarding similar issues, especially sustainable development and supply chain, have been conducted in the general aspect of the case, based on existing articles, but in this article, the issue has been tried in the form of a research and case study, taking into account the situation Geographically, technologically and also culturally, to be examined and compared. Considering that in the studies, the stability of the supply chain can also prevent energy waste, in this research, the issue of what effect the stability of the supply chain can have on energy efficiency in Asalouye refineries has been addressed. The investigated population of the statistical population of this research includes the managers and employees of Asalouye refinery centers. The number of managers and centers of single-phase, two-phase and three-phase refinery centers that are in the operational phase has been 15 refineries, and the number of operational experts and specialists in each of these types of refineries has been evaluated as 120 people. According to the size of the statistical population, the sampling method used and based on the Morgan table, 92 people have been considered as a sample. The investigated tool is the sustainable supply questionnaire, which includes 50 questions on the economic, social and environmental scales, and the researcher-made energy efficiency questionnaire, which has 8 questions designed on a five-point Likert scale. Data analysis was done in SPSS21 software. Finally, after conducting the mentioned analyzes and surveys and obtaining results in each of the sources of sustainability in providing security (economic, social and environmental), the amount of influence on the energy efficiency of Assalouye refineries, according to the presented tables. The relevant parts were obtained.
