Abstract

Purpose: One of the differences between project-oriented and routine organizations is the difference in their supply chain. This leads to the use of distinct and new approaches to its management. In this article, according to the existing problems, a conceptual model of lean and agile supply chain in project-oriented organizations is presented by examining the lean functions and agility of supply chain discussion. Research methodology: This research is descriptive-analytical in terms of method and applied in terms of purpose. This study's statistical population includes all managers and supply chain experts of project-based organizations and the statistical sample includes 105 people who have been selected using a purposive sampling method. After presenting the conceptual model, a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect information and to examine the intended model, the structural equation approach with PLS software was used. Results: The research findings indicate that the 114 identified items for the research model significantly explain their related components. The results of the model fit study showed that based on the convergent validity indices, Cronbach's alpha and Cronbach's alpha, and the subscription validity index and the exponential or redundancy validity index, the model is in the desired condition. Limitation: This research only described Knowledge Based Centre. Contribution: Organizations realised that relying on existing knowledge alone was not enough to compete in a competitive environment, and went beyond the boundaries of their organization to acquire knowledge. Organizations considered customers as a very useful and knowledgeable resource, and activities should be done to interact with customers in leading organizations. Keywords: Customer assisted knowledge production capacity, Customer capital, Intellectual capital, Knowledge management

Abstract

Purpose: One key difference between project-oriented and routine organizations is their supply chain, which requires distinct management approaches. This article presents a conceptual model of lean and agile supply chains in project-oriented organizations by examining lean functions and supply chain agility. Research Methodology: This study is descriptive-analytical in method and applied in purpose. The statistical population included managers and supply chain experts from project-based organizations, with a sample of 105 people selected via purposive sampling. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to gather data, and structural equation modeling with the PLS software was applied to test the model. Results: The findings indicate that 114 identified items significantly explain their related components. The model fit study results, based on convergent validity, Cronbach's alpha, and other validity indices, show that the model is in the desired condition. Conclusions: This study presents a conceptual model for lean and agile supply chains in project-oriented organizations, emphasizing the need for flexibility and external knowledge engagement. The model’s components are valid, and further research could explore its practical application across various sectors. Limitations: This research only described Knowledge Based Centre. Contribution: Organizations realized that relying solely on existing knowledge is insufficient to compete in a competitive environment and began seeking knowledge beyond their organizational boundaries. Customers were recognized as valuable knowledge resources, necessitating interaction with leading organizations.
