KOBİ’LERDE STOKLARIN YÖNETİMİNDE BİLGİ VE TEKNOLOJİNİN KULLANIMINI ETKİLEYEN ETMENLER: GÖRGÜL BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Year 2008, Issue: 31, 165 - 186, 11.05.2015

Abstract

Küçük ve orta büyüklükteki işletmeler (KOBİ), sosyal ve ekonomik işlevleri nedeniyle gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülke ekonomileri içinde son derece önemli bir yere sahip bulunmaktadır. Türkiye ekonomisinin ve sosyal hayatının temel taşlarını oluşturan KOBİ’lerin yaşamlarını sürdürebilmeleri ülke içi ve dışı rekabet koşullarına uyum sağlamalarına bağlıdır. Stokların etkin bir şekilde yönetilmesi, KOBİ’lerin lojistik açıdan rekabet üstünlüğü kazanmasında gerekli olan unsurlardan birisidir. Bu da ancak günümüz bilgi ve teknolojilerinin stok yönetiminde kullanılması ile mümkün olabilmektedir.

Bu araştırmada, imalat sanayinde faaliyet gösteren 583 KOBİ üzerinde gerçekleştirilen anket çalışması ile KOBİ’lerde stokların yönetiminde bilgi ve teknolojinin kullanımını etkileyen etmenler incelenmektedir. Gerçekleştirilen analizler sonucunda, işletme büyüklüğüne, sektöre ve üretim sürecine göre KOBİ’lerin stok yönetimiyle ilgili teknoloji kullanımına verdikleri önemin farklılıklar gösterdiği saptanmıştır.
