Abstract

Superior marine power, on the one hand, changes in the volume and type of maritime missions, the availability of a lean-agile supply chain is very essential in the uncertainty environment. In this paper the Leagility factors of the maritime supply chain has been considered. Using a combined approach of fuzzy cognitive maps and Delphi method, the relationship and ratio of relations of the leagility factors have been identified and the he interaction of these factors were determined. Two main relationship have been found. The leagility factors of the maritime supply chain with high power relationship have dynamic and strong effects on the supply chain leagility, but the Leagility factors of the maritime supply chain with low power relationship have strong effects on leagility readiness of the supply chain.
