Abstract

Identifying a capable department manager is a vital factor in managing the processes of a department. In order to effectively navigate the competitive market, managers need to possess a certain set of skills. Selecting the person to manage a department can be a difficult task in the context of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). It is extremely important to make a comprehensive assessment covering various aspects, including technical skills, work experience, personal characteristics, and other relevant factors. The primary objective of this study is to address the challenge of departmental manager selection. To address this challenge, the study evaluates departmental managers using the interval type 2 (IT2) fuzzy approach for the order of preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) technique. In the department manager selection problem, IT2 Fuzzy TOPSIS methodology was applied by using trapezoidal IT2 fuzzy numbers according to 6 main criteria among 4 alternatives. With this method, the best one among the alternatives was selected.

Aralik Tip-2 Bulanik Topsis Yöntemi Kullanarak Departman Müdürü Seçimine Karar Verme

Abstract

Yetenekli bir departman yöneticisinin belirlenmesi, bir departmanın süreçlerinin yönetilmesinde hayati önem taşıyan bir faktördür. Rekabetçi piyasada etkin bir şekilde yol alabilmek için yöneticilerin belirli bir dizi yeteneğe sahip olması gerekir. Bir departmanı yönetecek kişiyi seçmek, çok kriterli karar verme (ÇKKV) bağlamında zor bir görev olabilir. Teknik beceriler, iş deneyimi, kişisel özellikler ve diğer ilgili faktörler de dahil olmak üzere çeşitli yönleri kapsayan kapsamlı bir değerlendirme yapmak son derece önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın birincil amacı, departman yöneticisi seçiminde karşılaşılan zorlukları ele almaktır. Bu zorluğu ele almak için çalışma, ideal çözüme dayalı sıralama (TOPSIS) tekniği için aralık tipi 2 (AT2) bulanık yaklaşımını kullanarak departman yöneticilerini değerlendirmektedir. Departman müdürü seçim probleminde 4 alternatif arasından 6 temel kritere göre yamuk AT2 bulanık sayılar kullanarak çözüm yapılmış ve AT2 Bulanık TOPSIS metodolojisi uygulanmıştır. Bu yöntem ile alternatifler arasından en iyisi seçilmiştir.
