        The important role of food industries in promotion of the various health and economic indicators in the countries persuaded the industries involved in this affair to enforce fundamental reviews in the management approaches to enable them to perform the most efficient methods for utilizing the limited available recourses to improve the society’s health and economic growth. The balanced scorecard, as one of the successful tools in performance evaluation system, does not show the importance degree for the perspectives and the indicators under each perspective. To eliminate this deficiency the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process method is used in this research for weighting the perspectives and balanced scorecard indicators. In this study, first a list of performance evaluation indicators based on balanced scorecard approach was prepared and then the pairwise comparison was gained through field study and the standard AHP questionnaire with compatibility rate lower than 0.1. At the end the rate of balanced realization was evaluated for each. Regarding the pairwise comparison among perspectives done by the experts the customer perspective weighting 0.328 showed the maximum importance degree among other perspectives. The finance perspective weighting 0.290, the internal business process perspective weighting 0.239, and the learning and growth perspective weighting 0.143 were ranked as second to forth level respectively. According to the obtained certain weights, the added income comparison to the previous year weighing 0.121 was ranked in first level. The number of customer complains weighting 0.094, the customer satisfaction weighting 0.086 were ranked in second to fifth levels respectively. Manuscript profile

        Decentralization with the concept of transferring or resigning the power and decisions authorities from power centers and associated organizations has political, economical, cultural, and social dimensions. One of the most strategic approaches to decrease the problems of Tehran as a centralized capital city is decentralization. In fact, decentralization not only leads to progress, growth, and social development for other cities of the country, but also enhances the capital administration. In this research we discuss that information technology management can lead to decentralization of Tehran with the minimum challenges and costs. Also, it can help the capital administration. Hence, in this paper, with interdisciplinary approach we first investigate the attractions of Tehran, and then apply an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method to rank the attractions. Finally, we highlight the factors which can reduce the number of visits to Tehran by developing information technology. In fact, we propose the use of information technology to provide these attractions available in the other cities. Pairwise comparisons of attribute preferences are determined by experts from public and private organizations. The research findings shows that information technology not only has a significant effect on traffic reduction and optimum administration of Tehran city but also cause a much fare assignment of Tehran facilities to the other cities in the country.

        The aim of this paper is to present an optimization model in order to make a strategic plan to develop hydrogen refueling stations in a city when Origin–Destination (OD) data are not available. This model assumes two objectives: maximizing the traffic covered by the selected hydrogen refueling stations and minimizing the average distance of the city’s inhabitants to the nearest hydrogen refueling station. As OD data are considered to be unavailable, positioning the stations in the highest traffic zones is avoided by a new constraint that takes into account information on the distribution of existing conventional refueling stations. This model is applied to Mashhad of about 3 thousand square with a population of around 3 million. This application had used the results of a survey on more than 200 drivers on their current refueling preferences, their willingness to use alternative fuel vehicles and their minimum requirements (regarding maximum distance to be traveled to refuel and number of stations in the city) when establishing a network of alternative refueling stations Manuscript profile

        Enterprise architecture is considered as one of the effective ways of aligning information technology with business. In order to use the benefits of Enterprise architecture, the growing trend of its implementation in the organization should be considered. For this purpose, it is necessary to use control and evaluation tools. Enterprise architecture maturity assessment, as one of the effective methods of managing enterprise architecture process, is very important. The goal of maturity assessment is to determine the current status of the organization and to draw a clear picture of the future growth path of the organization. Today, the importance of maturity assessment in various organizational areas is becoming increasingly evident. However, in this area, in the field of financial and banking institutions, due to the complexity of the architecture of information technology and organizational architecture in these institutions, no significant activities were undertaken. Therefore, the present study aims to provide a new and customized model, in order to measure the maturity level of enterprise architecture, in one of the largest banks in Iran. For this purpose, after the extraction of the subject literature, the study and observation of the target bank have been dealt with. The descriptive approach and the structural equations have been developed and then the conceptual model has been extracted. The model includes 3 dimensions, 23 variables and 75 indicators Manuscript profile

        Paper manufacturing industry is one of the prominent and impactful industries in countries and societies. Leak of knowledge, awareness, information and etc. is affiliate to the existence of paper and without it, there is no chance of saving and recording the information. Each year a significant amount of paper is being produced and consumed in the world and the turnover of this industry is significant. In this research the focus is on paper industry and the providers of this service and we are seeking to prioritize the decisions based on merging of fuzzy model of second type with decision making of several complex dynamic indexes. With VIKOR in paper industry. First of all, 5 important decisions have been identified by the expertise in paper industry that includes 1) An attempt to include technology and new machines 2)Investigating on new products and diversification of products 3) Educating employees and managers 4) Organizing technical production, storage and managing the employers 5) Suitable pricing and advertising to attract new inside and outside consumers Also 6 criterions have been proposed to evaluate these decisions For evaluating the decisions, we have used the fuzzy VIKOR approach of type 2 and after going through research stages, decision number 1 and 2 gained the most priority.
