Quality is a concept that is based on the views of users, users needs and dominances is established. Thus, among the various groups of users have different meanings. statistics Data quality to the appropriate degree of confidence in them to meet the needs of users and the purposes specified in the survey . The perfect balance definition that was used in the past as well, because even if true Statistics can not be sure of the quality utility. In other words, a multi-dimensional quality statistics that are associated with all of its. Only one aspect of it is properly and it is perhaps the most important aspect. All aspects of quality are important However, in most surveys according to limited funds ,obtain statistics with the best level of quality in all its dimensions, it is almost impossible. This research based on SODA approach is monitoring data items quality from different directions and perspectives in order to problem structuring. Monitoring is base on documentation and scientific articles and semi-structured and depth interviews with experts in the field of statistics Data quality items Statistics Center of Iran. The researcher is trying to gather all the opinions of the experts, to structuring the relationship between the quality of its components and factors that affecting its. After setting out map to monitoring the data items quality, Level of quality items, its components, as well as factors that affect the relationship between the components are thoroughly characterized.

For years, researchers and managers have been popular with Balanced Scorecard and during the time, several edits have been developed from this base model. “Strategy map” is a topic that have been invented by researchers of the Balanced Scorecard to ease the understanding of issues that related to the strategic objectives set. The organization's strategic plan to achieve organizational goals, there are several ways that researchers have developed models to analyze these pathways. Bayesian networks, probabilistic networks have many applications in various sciences have provided. In this study, path analysis in Bayesian networks has been the strategy map. In this study, a model is presented by which one can achieve the ultimate goals of risk below the risk-based goals (in lower amounts) can be calculated and appropriate solution to mitigate risks identified organizational goals In this study, an investment firm is studied and the model is implemented and the results have been analyzed.

Abstract: The purpose of the present study is to examine the relationships between sub dimensions of psychological capital (hope, efficacy, resilience and optimism) and components of quality of services provided to employees (responsibility, reliability, trusting, empathy, tangibility). For this purpose, survey method was used and 320 questionnaires were distributed among Ansar bank branches’ employees in Tehran. Data were collected using the Luthans inventory and the quality of services provided to employees Scale, and were analyzed using the canonical correlation approach. Results of canonical correlation coefficients between pairs of canonical variables (psychological capital and quality of services provided to employees) was found to be statistically significant. Also, Hope and responsibility compared to other canonical variables, have the most important role in establishing the first canonical correlation coefficient . Hope and responsibility compared to other canonical variables , have the most impo rtant role in establis hing the first canonical correlation coefficient .

External factors such as sanctions and the lack of cooperation from foreign suppliers, and internal factors such as lack of proper management of cash flow or inappropriate policy board, can lead to a lack of inventory. Inventory shortage is an important factor in creating the crisis in the manufacturing processes. This article seeks to provide a system for inventory control and production. The proposed model for the production and inventory control in uncertainty modeling and it is assumed that the customer demand as well as follow a normal distribution. In this study, a mathematical model presented integer, nonlinear and is NP-hard. To solve this complex model of genetic algorithm is used. The results of the numerical model shows that a point mutation operators intersection and a good ability in the search space is justified and unjustified away from space. The convergence of the algorithm results also show that the algorithm can be used to find the optimum solution at the appropriate time.

The statistical population of this study including 385 employees of MAHBAN-DAROO Company and 341 Esfahan drugstores as their customers. The validity of this paper confirmed by content and factor validity and it reliability was proven by Cronbach's Alpha. Structural equation modeling was utilized as analyzing method by employing Amos 21. The results showed that individual, organizational, special environment and general environment factors have a direct and positive effect on ethic marketing and also ethic marketing has a positive and direct effect on marketing performance of company. Also other results revealed the mediating role of ethic marketing among key factors and marketing performance in pharmacy companies.

The modern business environment is constantly changing, and manage this change to adapt to a future of uncertainties is a challenge that necessitates supply chain flexibility. We introduce a method for measuring flexibility based on gray system. For this purpose, the flexibility of Alpha Automobile Company that operates in Iran's automobile industry has been measured. The results suggested that sourcing limitations and Distribution problems are the most serious vulnerabilities that threaten Alpha Automobile Company. Therefore, the company must plan to improve its flexibility by selecting the appropriate set of capabilities. Moreover, effectiveness , supply flexibility and flexibility in order fulfillment were identified as three important capabilities of Alpha Automobile Company.

In order to share the knowledge in a successful and effective manner, individuals need to have knowledge sharing competencies. These competencies could affect and enhance individual performance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of knowledge sharing intention on knowledge sharing competencies and also the impact of those competencies and knowledge sharing intention on managers’ performance in project-based organizations. Data is collected from 50 participants including top, middle and executive managers and also senior engineers. Statistical estimation methods and path analysis were utilized to test the hypotheses. The findings indicates that knowledge sharing intention not only has a positive and significant, direct impact on knowledge sharing competencies but also has a positive and significant, indirect impact on managers’ individual performance via knowledge sharing competencies. This study suggests that due to knowledge sharing intention, one can enhance his/her individual performance by developing the methodological competencies.
