TY - JOUR T1 - Hybrid Approach to Supply Chain Project Manager Selection Problem TT - Tedarik Zinciri Proje Yöneticisi Seçim Probleminde Hibrit Yaklaşım AU - Kara, Karahan AU - Edinsel, Sercan AU - Yalçın, Galip Cihan PY - 2023 DA - January DO - 10.31590/ejosat.1206786 JF - Avrupa Bilim ve Teknoloji Dergisi JO - EJOSAT PB - Osman SAĞDIÇ WT - DergiPark SN - 2148-2683 SP - 98 EP - 108 IS - 46 LA - en AB - Supply chain management covers the management of all processes, from determining the material needs of manufacturing companies to delivering value-added products to customers. Theoretical approaches and practical applications for supply chain management processes are presented in the literature. However, there is no project-based supply chain manager selection for the improvement of supply chain processes yet. In this research, the supply chain project manager selection problem is discussed. In this context, multi criteria decision making techniques used for project manager selection problem applications were used. According to the literature review and interviews with the manufacturing executive jury, seven criteria were determined. The criterion weights were determined by the fuzzy the stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis (F-SWARA) method. The grey operational competitiveness rating method (OCRA-G) method was applied to select the most suitable candidate among the four candidates. According to the research findings, the experience criterion was determined as the most important criterion in the selection of the supply chain project manager. The second candidate was found to be the most suitable candidate. In this research, an alternative hybrid model method for the project selection problem has been presented to the literature by using fuzzy and gray based approaches in a hybrid way. In addition, suggestions have been developed for manufacturing companies, supply chain project manager candidates and researchers. KW - Project Manager Selection Problem KW - Human Resource Management KW - Supply Chain Management KW - F-SWARA KW - OCRA-G N2 - Tedarik zinciri yönetimi imalat firmalarının malzeme ihtiyaçlarının belirlenmesinden değer katılarak dönüştürülen ürünlerin müşterilere ulaştırılmasına kadar tüm süreçlerin yönetimini kapsamaktadır. Literatürde tedarik zinciri yönetim süreçlerine yönelik teorik yaklaşımlar ve pratik uygulamalar sunulmaktadır. Fakat tedarik zinciri süreçlerinin iyileştirilmesine yönelik proje tabanlı tedarik zinciri proje yönetici seçimine rastlanmamaktadır. Bu araştırmada tedarik zinciri proje yöneticisi seçim problemi ele alınmıştır. Bu kapsamda proje yöneticisi seçim problemi uygulamalarına yönelik kullanılan çok kriterli karar verme tekniklerinden faydalanılmıştır. Literatür incelemesi ve imalat firması yönetici jürisi ile yapılan görüşmelere göre yedi kriter belirlenmiştir. Kriter ağırlıkları F-SWARA yöntemiyle belirlenmiştir. Dört aday arasından en uygun adayın seçimi için OCRA-G yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre tedarik zinciri proje yöneticisi seçiminde tecrübe kriteri en önemli kriter olarak belirlenmiştir. İkinci aday en uygun aday olarak bulunmuştur. Bu araştırmada bulanık ve grey tabanlı yaklaşımlar hibrit şekilde kullanılarak literatüre proje seçim problemi için alternatif hibrit model yöntemi sunulmuştur. Ayrıca imalat firmalarına, tedarik zinciri proje yönetici adaylarına, araştırmacılara öneriler geliştirilmiştir. CR - Afshari, A. R., Anisseh, M., Shahraki, M. R., & Hooshyar, S. (2016).
