Abstract

The problem of logistics center location selection has emerged as a special version of the problem of facility layout in the logistics and supply chain design. An effective logistics center structure is a key factor in increasing the efficiency of urban freight transport, a significant profit and investment tool. The location of these centers is a complex structure which must be decided by considering many factors. In this article, an integrated approach is proposed by combining Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) and VlseKriterijuska Optimizacija I Komoromisno Resenje (VIKOR) methods for the Logistics Center planned to be built in Kayseri. According to proposed approach; First of all, benchmark weights were determined by AHP method. Then, VIKOR method was used to determine the most suitable place among the alternatives.

AHP ve VIKOR Bütünleşik yaklaşımıyla Lojistik Merkez Yer Seçimi: Kayseri ili örneği

Abstract

Lojistik
merkez yer seçimi problemi, tesis yerleşimi probleminin özel bir versiyonu
olarak lojistik ve tedarik zinciri tasarımında zorunlu olarak ortaya çıkmıştır.
Etkin bir lojistik merkez yapısı kentsel yük taşımacılığının verimliliğini
artırmada kilit bir faktör, önemli bir kar ve yatırım aracıdır. Bu merkezlerin
nereye konumlandırılacağı birçok faktörün dikkate alınarak karar verilmesi
gereken karmaşık bir yapıdır. Bu makale kapsamında Kayseri ilinde yapılması
planlanan Lojistik Merkez için Analitik Hiyerarşik Süreç (AHP) ve
VlseKriterijuska Optimizacija I Komoromisno Resenje (VIKOR) yöntemlerini
birleştirerek bütünleşik bir yaklaşım önerilmiştir. Önerilen yaklaşıma göre;
öncelikle kriter ağırlıkları AHP yöntemiyle belirlenmiş daha sonra VIKOR
yöntemi kullanılarak alternatifler arasında bir sıralama belirlenerek en uygun
yer seçimi yapılmıştır.
