Currently there is competition between supply chains. In modern business environments, an effective supply chain management (SCM) is crucial to business continuity. Competition between supply chains (SC) has replaced the traditional competition between companies. Lean, Agile, Resilient and Green (LARG) paradigms are advocated as the foundation of a competitive SCM. Nowadays, companies review trade samples and process of supply chain inevitably by using improving new techniques because of rapid environmental change. For this purpose, Larg supply chain management is a comprehensive approach to combining lean, agile, resilient and green strategies. management of supply chain tries to apply lean, agile, resilience, green and in supply chain management in space of management of supply chain by use of the approach in order to benefit advantages of each of them and cover their deficiencies simultaneously. In this paper, we will examine the Larg supply chain management models that are composed of lean, agile, resilient and green supply chain paradigms. The results show that these models have a significant impact on supply chain performance and gain competitive advantage.

Nowadays, global speedy transformations have forced organizations to investigate risk management in supply chain in order to overcome their insecure conditions. Suppliers should produce materials and parts with of high quality and low costs. Identifying and ranking of the effective risks in supply chain is necessary in order to achieve this goal. In this paper, in addition to providing an explanation of non-determinant concepts in supply chain, and the identification of risks supply chain and determining the intensity of their effects, risk management in supply chain has been explained as one of the main functions of managers. In addition, we have recognized the most important supply chain risks on the basis of suggested model and also have designed the questionnaire which has not only measured the severity of risks relating to each other. Finally, the results were analyzed using DEMATEL technique in order to clarify the most important supply chain risks regarding their priorities, e.g. environmental, financial, strategic, informative and communicative technology.

Expansive economic, production and commercial development today has made businesses and enterprises to have active presence and contribution in network-based and chain economy. Although focusing on this approach has brought some privileges and productivities for the firms which are members of networks and supply chains, it has been accompanied by various problems and complexities for financial crisis management, cash flow and flow capital amount of the foundations and their commercial partners. To overcome such problem, besides developing the concepts of supply chain management and logistics, Financial supply chain management (FSCM) was also promoted to minimize inefficiencies of financial flow in supply chain using financial, engineering and management approaches, and to provide an effective management ground for cash inventory and flow capital all throughout the supply chain by making use of various tools and techniques of supply chain finance and/or SCF.Thus, regarding the significance of financial flow management in the chain and benefitting the principles and fundamentals of research by fact finding and case study, it was tried to present a framework to make use of financial flow management and its principles and fundamentals effectively by reviewing evidences as well as applicable experiences in this area. The present paper emphasized that as logistic services providers are responsible in supply chains to improve inventory level; financial services providers also have the same role concerning liquidity level in the chains.

In recent years, distribution system of goods and services specifically in domestic chain stores lack efficiency and effectiveness according to a developing economy and urban life. One of the best strategies to improve the chain store's performance is supply chain management (SCM). So this study tries to extend previous SCM approach by presenting a new framework.Relevant researches in this field; emphasized that new dimensions such as supply chain institualization and integration, leadership, culture of competitiveness and knowledge acquisition besides of conventional aspect(such as processes, financial, etc)have positive impact in supply chain performance.In other words this framework contain following steps. First we develop the new approach to calculate the weights of criterion of the SCM excellence model, then, we evaluate the casual relationship between these criterions. Finally we synthesize above mentioned steps to achieve supply chain Critical Path Excellence (SCCPE).
