Abstract

Axiomatic Design (AD) is one of the multi-criteria
decision-making methods that can be used for solving problems involving both quantitative
and qualitative criteria in decision-making process. In this study is
investigated the innovative culture structures of machine manufacturers. Firstly,
the attributes and the criteria of innovative culture structure are determined.
Following that, a questionnaire is prepared and applied to 16 distinct machine
manufacturers. Afterwards, on the basis of the information axiom of AD, the evaluation
of firms’ innovative culture structures is proposed.  For the case that there are priorities among
the criteria, weighted AD method is applied and the results of AD and weigted
AD methods are compared.

MAKİNE İMALATI YAPAN FİRMALARIN YENİLİKÇİ KÜLTÜR YAPILARININ AKSİYOMATİK TASARIM İLE DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Aksiyomlarla Tasarım (AT) karar verme
sürecinde hem nicel hem de nitel kriterlerin dikkate alınmasını gerektiren
problemlerin çözümünde kullanılabilen çok ölçütlü karar verme yöntemlerinden
birisidir. Bu çalışmada, makine imalatı yapan firmaların yenilikçi kültür
yapıları değerlendirilmiştir. Öncelikle, yenilikçi kültür özellikleri ve
kriterleri belirlenmiş, sonra bu kriterleri içeren bir anket formu
hazırlanmıştır. Anket 16 makine üreticisi firmaya uygulanmıştır. Daha sonra,
AT’nin bilgi aksiyomuna dayanarak alternatif firmaların yenilikçi kültür
yapılarının değerlendirmesi yapılmıştır. 
Ayrıca, kriterlerin kendi aralarında önceliklerinin olduğu durum göz
önüne alınarak Ağırlıklı AT kullanılmış ve her iki yöntemin sonuçları
karşılaştırılmıştır.
