Abstract

The determination of effective indicators in order to decide on the location of industrial units with the aim of optimizing the use of raw material, reduce costs and waste and marketing of products is very important. Determining the effective indicators in optimal choice for seating block board unites (with use the back of scrap plywood, twigs little low diameter wood’s) in country was target of this study. There for, after the initial studies and field surveys and interview with pundits and experts related 5 major groups (materials and products, infrastructure and environmental needs, technical construction, management policies, social and cultural infrastructure and rules and provisions) and 32 sub indicators were identified. Ever different methods for determining the effective indexes has been listed that one of these methods is the hierarchical analysis. In this method question nares was prepared and completed by qualified personal and experts. The results of these questionnaires were analyzed by Expert Choice software and the most important indicators respectively including ensure a sustainable supply of raw materials (0/201), waste of timber cutting mills, plywood and veneer (0/133) the purchase cost of raw materials (0/115), the distance of the raw material (0/058), Status of competitors in the region (0/051) and the cost of raw material shipping (0/043), were determined.
