The primary purpose of this research was to understand the importance of supply chain strategies in the field of supply chain risk management, emphasizing the effectiveness and efficiency of agile and lean strategies to create resilience and robustness in the supply chain. Data was collected from 392 supply chain experts working in Iran's automotive industry to test hypotheses through structural equation modeling. The findings of this study show that Market Orientation (MO) (as an external force) has more signicant impact on the development of Agile Strategy (AS) than Lean Strategy (LS). In contrast, the Quality Management (QM) system (as an internal force) is highly correlated with the development of lean supply chain strategies. Moreover, agile and lean strategies also have a signicant impact on a resilient and Robust Supply Chain (RB). The proposed model helps organizations understand and create an ideal supply chain by implementing the right combination of both agile and lean supply chain strategies, which in turn helps to create a resilient and RB. Therefore, the findings of this study help policymakers to improve supply chain strategies by incorporating new management practices. This is original research that has various valuable insights for academic researchers and also supply chain strategy professionals as it reveals empirical evidence of the past vital concepts.

Project management approach is one of the crucial aspects of enhancing the operational efficiency of project-based organizations that makes optimum resources use possible. Risks management significantly affects operational effectiveness and performance efficiency in competitive organizations. These calls for a new management approach, such as the PMBOK project management standard that helps risks identification and methods of mitigating their adverse consequences. The aim is to focus on analysis of project-related processes in organizations using the PMBOK guideline risk management concept. The study is undertaken in the project-oriented Lorestan National Gas Company in Iran. The methodology involved using primary data using interviews of relevant stakeholders on project-management processes involving three major stages of data collection, process identification and process analysis based on the PMBOK. Results show the importance of risk management analysis in identifying major risk-generation areas required to take appropriate measures in averting or overcoming unexpected operational and performance challenges that affect organizational survival. Results further show the effectiveness of the proposed method in achieving a more effective project control system that makes it possible for on-time project scheduling, enhanced performance effectiveness, economic justification and organizational survival.
