Abstract

The applied purpose of this study is to determine and prioritize the components of production sustainability in the courrugated box making industry by using qualitative analysis.Through library studies and review of available resources, seven main components affecting the sustainability of production in the courrugated box making industry were named: rules and regulations, economic, environmental, technological, social, human resourcess, materials and products and 43 sub-components were identified.By preparing researcher-made questionnaires and distributing it among managers and experts in the courrugated box making industry with the aim of influencing each component and sub-component on production sustainability and their current status, the results were analyzed by relevant tests. All components affecting production stability based on standard coefficients and significance of structural equations as well as predictive criteria for confirmation and quality of data presented with redundancy index with cross-validity showed that the data have the necessary validity to predict. The components were prioritized based on average rank and distance to stability. Based on the results, economic, material, product and technological components showed the shortest distance and bio-environmental components, rules and regulations showed the longest distance to achieve stability in the carton industry. Therefore, in order to achieve sustainable production in the carton industry, environmental components, laws and regulations must be given more attention. Research components were prioritized based on average rank and distance to stability. Based on the results, economic, material and product and technological components showed the shortest distance but environmental, rules and regulations components, showed the longest distance to achieve stability in the industry. Therefore, in order to achieve sustainable production in the industry, environmental, laws and regulations components must be given more attention.
