Abstract

Devletlerin sınır egemenliğini korumak için, orduların savaş yeteneklerini geliştirebilecek, görev hazırlık seviyelerini artırabilecek ve mali kısıtlamaların olduğu bir ortamda sürekli operasyonlarını sürdürebilmelerini sağlayacak çağdaş yenilikçi teknolojileri araştırmaya devam etmeleri gerekmektedir. Dünyadaki donanmalar, askeri sistemlerin yüksek bakım maliyetleri ve uzun yaşam döngüleri nedeniyle hizmetteki ekipmanlarını korumak için tedarik zincirlerinde teknolojik yerelleştirmeyi benimsemek zorunda kalmıştır. Kamu sektöründe, bütçe kısıtlamalarının karar alma süreçlerini ciddi şekilde etkilediği durumlarda, bu alanın detaylı bir şekilde incelenmesi zorunlu hale gelmektedir. Mevcut araştırma çalışması, bu alandaki gelecekteki araştırmalar için bir çerçeve oluşturmuştur. İlk olarak, Deniz platformlarının performans optimizasyonuyla ilgili temel faktörler özetlenmiştir. İkinci olarak, kapsamlı bir literatür taraması yapılmıştır. Üçüncü olarak, gelecekteki araştırmalar için özel araştırma soruları ve araştırma yöntemleri önerilmiştir.

PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION THROUGH TECHNOLOGICAL INDIGENIZATION OF SUPPLY CHAINS: A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

In order to maintain the border sovereignty of the country, militaries need to continue investigating contemporary innovative technologies which can improve their war-fighting capabilities, raise mission readiness, and enable their continuous operations in a fiscally constrained environment. Navies around the world have been forced to adopt technological indigenization in their Supply Chains to maintain in-service equipment due to the high expense of maintaining military-systems combined with prolonged life cycles. In the public sector, where the budgetary constraints severely impact decision making, it makes it an imperative area to be explored in detail. The present research study has established a framework basis for prospective future research paths within this field. Firstly, major factors related to performance optimization of Naval platforms have been summarized. Secondly, comprehensive literature review has been undertaken. Third, specific research questions have been proposed along with research methodology for future researches
