Abstract

The packaging industry has a direct relationship with the company's branding by protecting the goods during transportation. An issue that will have a direct effect on other companies in the supply chain of the necessities industry. Therefore, by knowing the importance of this supply chain, the existing conditions can be reviewed and presented to experts. From another point of view, the economic, social and environmental issues of this industry are also very important. In this regard, in the article, the elements that can be interrupted in a network including the supply of essentials of the packaging industry with dysfunction, 12 main and 172 sub-indices are identified, and in the second step, each characteristic is prioritized and the evaluations are specified. Potentially, a questionnaire will be published among experts to identify important risks. Then, after collecting the questionnaires, the inconsistency rate index of each questionnaire is calculated and after the final approval of each questionnaire with the fuzzy hierarchical method (FAHP). In the third stage, after identifying the potential questions, a letter will be presented to the supply chain experts in order to provide a suitable solution to the potential risks. In the fourth stage, to recognize resolutions, experts are divided into three decision categories, which will include risk-taking decision makers, neutral decision makers, and risk-averse decision makers.
