TEDARİK ZİNCİRİNDE KURU DÖKME VE GENEL YÜK TERMİNALLERİ: ALİAĞA İÇİN BİR DELPHI ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

Denizyolu taşımacılığı tedarik zinciri sistemi içerisindeki çeşitli yük hareketlerinin gerçekleşmesinde önemli bir role sahiptir. Bu bağlamda; limanlar, lojistik maliyetlerin ve hizmet etkililiğinin hayati önem taşıdığı tedarik zinciri yönetiminde katma değer sağlama faaliyetini de üstlenmeye başlamışlardır. Düşük birim maliyete ve yüksek taşıma fiyatı esnekliğine sahip olan dökme yükleri ve neredeyse her operasyonunda farklı planlama ve yönetim gerektiren genel yükleri elleçleyen terminaller zincirde önemli bir yer edinmektedir. Bu çalışmada, kuru dökme ve genel yük terminallerinin sağladığı katma değerli lojistik hizmetler ve faaliyetler ile tedarik zinciri içerisindeki rolünün saptanması amaçlanmış ve değerlendirilmiştir. Aliağa Bölgesi’nde bulunan kuru dökme ve genel yük terminallerinin ve üreticilerin tedarik zinciri içerisindeki rolünü saptamak adına Delphi tekniği kullanılarak uzman görüşlerine başvurulmuştur. Çalışmanın bulguları, bu tür terminallerde hizmet etkililiğinin en az operasyonel etkinlik kadar önemli olduğunu göstermiştir ve hizmetin özelliklerinin daha tedarik zinciri yönlü olmak için geliştirilmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır. Katma değerli hizmetlerin bu tür terminallerde, müşterilerin özellikle önem verdiği farklılaştırıcı bir unsur olduğu da vurgulanmıştır.

DRY BULK AND GENERAL CARGO TERMINALS IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN: A DELPHI STUDY FOR ALIAGA

Abstract

Maritime transportation plays a vital role in the flow of various cargoes within a supply chain system. In this context, seaports have also started undertaking the provision of value-added services in the supply chain management, where logistics costs and service effectiveness are vital. Terminals that handle dry bulk cargoes which have low unit prices and high elasticity to transportation prices, and general cargoes that require different planning and management for almost each operation have significant roles in the chain as well. This study aims to determine and evaluate the role of dry bulk and general cargo terminals in the supply chain with the value-added logistic services by focusing on Aliağa Region. Delphi technique has been employed to shed light on the role of the dry bulk and general cargo terminals and manufacturers in the scope of supply-chain and logistics-based components. Findings indicate that service effectiveness is important as well as operational efficiency in such terminals and service characteristics should be improved to become more supply-chain oriented. Value-added services are considered as a differentiation factor where customers pay great attention.
