Abstract

Understanding the market situation in order to obtain a suitable position in the new inter-national production system has particular importance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine and rank the effective indexes on the selection and purchase of paper in the card board production industries of the country. The expansion of the market and the multiplicity of industries have led to the importance of finding competitiveness as well as an accurate un-derstanding of their relative position in the market for many industries in order to make their economic and industrial policies compatible with their market conditions and relative position. Knowing this fact will help them improve their capabilities to improve their performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine and rank the effective measures on the choice and purchase of cardboard in the country's carton industry. The results of the ranking showed that among the 24 sub-indicators influencing the purchase and selection of cartons sheet in the paper board manufacturing industry,
