Multi-Criteria Decision Making Method for Subcontractor Selection in Indigenization Activities

Abstract

In this study, a survey-based multi-criteria decision-making methodology has been developed for the subcontractor selection problem. The survey is carried out in the relevant main business areas under the work type of the subcontractor company. These areas are evaluated according to the determined main dimensions. For the developed methodology, initially, the FUCOM weighting method is used to calculate the relative importance of the main business areas and main business dimensions. Then, a ranking method for selecting subcontractors based on TOPSIS, VIKOR, MABAC, and Compromise Programming techniques used in multi-criteria decision-making is presented, considering the survey results and the calculated results weights

Yerlileştirme Faaliyetlerinde Alt Yüklenici Seçimi İçin Çok Kriterli Karar Verme Yöntemi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, alt yüklenici seçimi problemi için ankete dayalı çok kriterli karar verme metodolojisi geliştirilmiştir. Anket çalışması alt yüklenici firmanın iş tipine uygun olarak ilgili ana iş alanlarında gerçekleştirilir. Bu alanlar belirlenen ana boyutlara göre değerlendirilir. Geliştirilen metodoloji içinde ilk olarak ana iş alanları ve ana iş boyutlarının nispi önemleri yani ağırlıklarının hesaplanması için FUCOM ağırlıklandırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Daha sonra anket sonuçları ve hesaplanan ağırlıklar dikkate alınarak, çok kriterli karar vermede kullanılan TOPSİS, VIKOR, Uzlaşık programlama ve MABAC tekniklerine dayanan alt yüklenici firmaların seçimine ilişkin bir sıralama yöntemi sunulmuştur.
