Key Factors Affecting Steel Industry Supply Chain Productivity

Efficient supply chain as well as the proper management of its components play an important role in supply chain productivity. The steel industry is one of the mother industries and needs to further enhance its chain productivity. The purpose of the present study is to identify key factors affecting the productivity of national steel supply chain. In order to identify the factors affecting steel supply chain productivity, the SCOR model has been used and its indices have been validated by CVR and CVI forms as well as by steel industry experts, based on which the designed questionnaire was distributed among the managers and experts of the steel industry and the data were collected. Finally, the data analysis was performed using confirmatory factor analysis with structural equations and PLS software. The factors affecting supply chain productivity were confirmed by 30 indices and 6 factors.The results revealed that all 6 factors influence steel supply chain efficiency, however, among these factors, the enabler’s factor
