Abstract

A construction company struggles to deliver the undertaken project within time, budget, and desired quality. Selection of technical personnel is generally made on the basis of a decision maker’s subjective evaluation, and includes fuzzy linguistic variables; therefore, the best suitable candidate cannot be seen easily. The aim of this study is to develop a fuzzy logic evaluation model to be able to select appropriate technical personnel. For this purpose, it is determined decision criteria, the evaluation fuzzy set and the affect fuzzy set in a construction project for selecting site chief. Thus, a construction project will be able to be completed in time, within desired quality and budget by using this model.

İnşaat Projeleri İçin Teknik Personel Seçiminde Bir Bulanık Mantık Değerlendirme Modeli

Abstract

Bir inşaat firması, taahhüdü altındaki bir projeyi, zamanında, bütçesinde ve istenilen kalitede bitirmek ister. Teknik personel de firmanın bu amacını gerçekleştirmede anahtar bir rol oynamaktadır. Teknik personelin seçimi genellikle, firmadaki personel seçiminden sorumlu kişilerin subjektif değerlendirmelerine göre yapılmaktadır. Personel seçiminde subjektif değerlendirme yönteminin uygulanması, proje için en uygun adayın seçilememesine sebebiyet vermektedir. Bu çalışmada, personel seçim probleminin çözümü için bir bulanık mantık değerlendirme modeli geliştirilip, geliştirilen model, gerçek bir inşaat projesi için anahtar teknik personel olan şantiye şefi seçiminde uygulanarak, uygulama ile elde edilen sonuçlar; şantiye şefi seçim problemi için önerilen yöntemin kullanılmasının etkili ve yararlı bir yöntem olduğunu göstermektedir.
