Abstract

The transportation of non-standard cargoes and related logistics operations are considered as a niche area that requires expertise. Logistics operations of non-standard cargoes must be carried out carefully in order to deliver the cargo on time and in undamaged conditions. Although a significant amount of literature has been published on service provider selection, there is no study in the field of project logistics. For this reason, it is necessary to investigate and determine the selection criteria for project logistics service providers. In the study, fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) is used for project logistics service provider selection. The results are that for project logistics management, logistics service providers need to improve vehicle availability, cargo security, on-time delivery, etc. to become more competitive.

Bulanık Analitik Hiyerarşi Süreci ile Proje Lojistik Operasyonları için Hizmet Sağlayıcı Seçimi

Abstract

Standart dışı yüklerin taşınması ve buna bağlı lojistik operasyonlar uzmanlık gerektiren niş bir alan olarak kabul edilmektedir. Standart dışı yüklerin lojistik operasyonlarının, kargonun zamanında ve hasarsız koşullarda teslim edilmesi için dikkatli bir şekilde yürütülmesi gerekmektedir. Hizmet sağlayıcı seçimi konularında önemli miktarda literatür yayınlanmış olmasına rağmen proje lojistiği alanında herhangi bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu nedenle proje lojistiği hizmet sağlayıcıları için seçim kriterlerinin araştırılması ve belirlenmesi gerekmektedir. Çalışmada, proje lojistiği hizmet sağlayıcı seçimi için bulanık analitik hiyerarşi süreci (FAHP) kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, proje lojistiği yönetimi için lojistik hizmet sağlayıcılarının daha rekabetçi hale gelmek için araç mevcudiyeti, kargo güvenliği, zamanında teslimat vb. gibi daha operasyonel yönlere odaklanması gerektiğini göstermektedir.
