Purpose: The aim of this research is to optimize humanitarian logistics to increase coordination between actors in the phase during and after the disaster and aims to minimize the cost of relief, minimize the time of relief and minimize the cost of rebuilding infrastructure and housing for the affected people.Methodology: This research is a part of developmental research in terms of the research directions types ; Because it is trying to expand the existing models in the design of the humanitarian logistics network and consider the optimization of two phases during and post-disaster. The proposed model of this research has been solved using multi-objective genetic algorithm and multi-objective particle swarm.Findings: The implementation of this study will lead to a reduction in the costs of locating, routing and reconstruction in the humanitarian supply chain, as well as reducing the time of providing aid to the affected people and increasing their satisfaction. It is also possible to reduce the inventory of relief products with the help of this issue. Appropriate planning in humanitarian logistics processes, especially in the coordination phase of reconstruction, will be done according to the limited budget of governments and the appropriate use of resources.Originality/Value: One of the innovations of this study is reducing the cost of reconstruction after an earthquake. Several studies were conducted in order to recover from the disaster. Over the past two decades, response phase relief operations have been the focus of a significant number of researchers. However, the issue of post-disaster recovery and reconstruction programs has not been sufficiently discussed in scientific and practical forums.

Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant crisis in society’s health, industries, and businesses. In this regard, the medical devices industry has played an important role in crisis management and providing healthcare and has faced with several major challenges in supplying raw materials, production activities, and distribution activities due to the disruptions caused by the pandemic. One of the critically important issues in the medical devices supply chain is supplier selection. Hence, this research investigates the supplier selection problem considering the emerging concepts, which have dramatically attracted the attention of researchers after the COVID-19 pandemic, namely viability and Industry 5.0.
Methodology: In this study, a hybrid fuzzy decision-making approach is developed to investigate the viable supplier selection problem considering the Industry 5.0 dimensions. In this regard, in the first stage, according to the literature and experts, the main indicators of the research problem are extracted and then their weights are calculated using the fuzzy best-worst method. In the next stage, by employing the fuzzy VIKOR method, the feasible suppliers are evaluated. Also, to show the robustness and validation of the proposed approach, its results are compared with the traditional approaches.
Findings: In this study, a list of indicators, including six aspects and 34 criteria, is provided for the research problem based on its nature and their importance have been computed. Based on the outputs, the general metric is the most important aspect and the human-centricity metric is the least significant one. Also, the results show that in addition to the general criteria, such as cost and quality, other criteria such as reliability, technical capability, pollution control, risk reduction and service also play a significant role in the process of selecting suppliers and managers should pay special attention to these indicators in nowadays competitive marketplace.
Originality/Value: Reading the results of this research can help the Industrial and organizational managers to evaluate the potential suppliers of their companies based on the viability and Industry 5.0 dimensions, and select the best ones, which can significantly improve the performance and efficiency of their businesses.

Cultural intelligence is one of the capabilities available in the organization that managers can use in various situations. Cultural intelligence can be an important factor in improving the quality of services provided to clients and their satisfaction. The main purpose of this study is to explain the interactive relationships of the dimensions of cultural intelligence of managers in the municipalities of northern provinces. This study aims to review the literature on cultural intelligence, identify the basic indicators of cultural intelligence using the Delphi method, and using the fuzzy Demetel method, to provide a systematic model for modeling and the impact of components. The results of the study indicate that the dimensions of cultural intelligence are: behavioral intelligence, cognitive intelligence, religious cultural intelligence, organizational identity intelligence, motivational intelligence, social capital, behavioral intelligence. Organizational identity intelligence and behavioral intelligence are the most effective components and cognitive, motivational intelligence and social capital are the most effective components. In the end, it is suggested that in order to improve the status of cultural intelligence, while paying attention to all variables, it is necessary to pay more attention to the variable of religious cultural intelligence..

Today, organizations need to develop their production systems to achieve a competitive advantage and maintain it in the market. To achieve this, a completely new and innovative approach is needed to manage and produce an organization that dramatically increases productivity and also helps create effective and efficient supply chains. Now that the industrial revolution has grown to the fourth generation, organizations can use its new technologies to achieve and maintain a competitive advantage, as well as to increase productivity. The present study examines the interactive relationships of fourth-generation industry technologies in selected food industries to achieve this; first, through literature extraction, 20 cases of fourth-generation industry technologies were extracted, and in the second stage, with the fuzzy Delphi approach, 13 cases of fourth-generation industry technologies were identified for an explanation in the food industry. Then, the R-DEMATEL was used to investigate the interactive relationships between fourth-generation industry technologies.
