Teknoloji Entegreli Kapalı Döngü Tedarik Zincirleri ve Türk Havacılık Sektöründe Sürdürülebilir Performans: Deniz Havacılık Birimleri İçin Çıkarımlar

Abstract

Havacılık platformlarının düzenli bakım ve idamesi, hem sivil hem de askerî yapılarda yedek parça tedarik sürekliliğinin kesintisiz biçimde sağlanmasını gerektirmektedir. Bu çalışma, üçlü alt çizgi (triple bottom line) çerçevesi temel alınarak, teknolojiyle bütünleşik kapalı döngü tedarik zincirlerinin sürdürülebilir tedarik zinciri performansının üç boyutu—finansal, sosyal ve çevresel—üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. Veriler, Türkiye’de sivil havacılık ile bakım, onarım ve revizyon (MRO) firmalarında görev yapan profesyonellerden toplanmıştır. Toplam 163 adet doldurulmuş anket, SmartPLS 4.0 istatistik yazılımı kullanılarak PLS-SEM yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, teknolojiyle bütünleşik kapalı döngü uygulamalarının Türkiye havacılık ve MRO sektöründe faaliyet gösteren firmaların finansal, sosyal ve çevresel performansları üzerinde anlamlı ve olumlu etkiler yarattığını ortaya koymaktadır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, platformların uzun operasyonel yaşam döngüsünün korunması, sıkı emniyet protokolleri ve yüksek operasyonel hazırlık gereklilikleri nedeniyle dijital teknolojilerle desteklenen tersine tedarik zinciri sistemlerinin benimsenmesinin güçlü bir gerekçe oluşturduğu deniz havacılığı tedarik zincirleri açısından da belirgin çıkarımlar sunmaktadır.

Technology-Integrated Closed-loop Supply Chains and Sustainable Performance in Turkish Aviation Industry with Implications for Naval Aviation Arm

Abstract

The regular maintenance and upkeep of aviation platforms require uninterrupted supply of spares supportability in both civil as well as military setups. This study examines the impacts of technology-integrated closed-loop supply chains on three dimensions of sustainable supply chain performance i.e. financial, social, and environmental, based on triple bottom line framework. The data were collected from the professionals working in Turkish civil aviation and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) firms. A total of 163 filled questionnaires were analyzed using PLS-SEM through SmartPLS4.0 statistical software. The findings of study highlight the significant positive impact of technology-integrated closed-loop adoption practices on financial, social, environmental performance of firms working in Turkish aviation and MRO sector. The findings of this study carry clear implications for naval aviation supply chains where ensuring extended operational lifecycle of platforms, strict safety protocols, and operational readiness requirements make strong case for adoption of digital technologies enabled reverse supply chain systems to ensure operational, financial, social, and environmental benefits.
