MEASURING THE IMPORTANCE OF WAREHOUSE LOCATION SELECTION CRITERIA USING BEST-WORST METHOD

Abstract

Warehouse performance has a major role in improving the effectiveness of supply chain considering especially the location where the warehousing activities occur. Warehouse location selection criteria have been widely used by decision-makers and researchers to achieve operational efficiency and reduce operational costs in the supply chain. On the other hand, the location of the warehouse is usually evaluated and decided on individual basis. This research determines the weights of the warehouse location criteria obtained from literature, using the Best-Worst Method (BWM), a multi-criteria decision-making method. A questionnaire form was sent to five warehouse professional experts in different companies including suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors in Turkey. From the BWM results, we can understand that ‘Market’ criterion has the most influence on decision about warehouse location.

Keywords
