THE IMPORTANCE OF LOGISTICS CLUSTERING FOR SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT: A CASE STUDY OF BOLU

Abstract

This study investigates the importance of clustering activities in order to increase the quality and effectiveness of logistics industry, also shows the determination of basic needs and assessment of logistics processes for different stakeholders operating in Bolu. The effects of different stakeholders in logistics sector over capacity and resource sharing and increasing the value-added services by using the knowledge sharing, education and learning abilities are performed with the detailed analysis. The roadmap for the development of logistics sector and regional development is prepared by analyzing the data with equivalent measurement tests at various stages using different important variables and by sharing the importance of clustering activities for member of triple helix structures. As a consequence, the positive impact of capacity and maturity level increases of companies over the variables of the models is observed

TEDARİK ZİNCİRİ YÖNETİMİNDE LOJİSTİK KÜMELERİN ÖNEMİ: BOLU İLİ İÇİN UYGULAMA

Abstract

Bu çalışma ile birlikte Bolu ilinde faaliyet gösteren firmaların lojistik süreçlerindeki temel ihtiyaçlarının belirlenmesi ve yapılan iyileştirme çalışmalarının lojistik kümelenme faaliyetleri için önemi araştırılmıştır. Lojistik sektöründeki farklı oyuncularının bilgi paylaşımı, eğitim ve öğrenme kabiliyetlerini kullanarak kaynak ve kapasite paylaşımı ve katma değerli hizmetlerin artırılması üzerine algılarının anket çalışmaları ile elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda detaylı incelemesi yapılmıştır. Lojistik sektörüne yoğun etkisi olan farklı değişkenler kullanılarak çeşitli aşamalarda ölçme değişmezliği testleri yardımıyla verilerin analizinin yapılması ve bölge genelinde kümelenme faaliyetlerinin üçlü sarmal yapının paydaşları için faydaları ortaya konulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda şirketlerin sektör içerisindeki kapasite artışları veya firmaların çalışma yaşlarındaki artış çıktı değişkenleri üzerinde olumlu etkileri olduğu gözlenmiştir
