Orta Asya Türk Cumhuriyetlerinin Lojistik ve Taşımacılık Performansları ve Verimliliklerinin Analizi için Hibrid bir Çok Kriterli Karar Verme Modeli

Abstract

Bağımsızlıklarını elde ettiklerinden beri, Avrupa ve Asya arasında önemli bir geçiş güzergâhı olan Orta Asya Türk Cumhuriyetlerinin küresel ticaretin yanı sıra, uluslararası taşımacılık ve lojistik operasyonlar açısından önemleri giderek artmaktadırlar. Bu ülkeler geçiş ülkeleri olmalarına ek olarak, lojistik ve ulaştırma alanında yaptıkları yatırımlar sayesinde küresel ticarette birer lojistik hub ülke olabilme çabası göstermektedirler. Öte yandan ulusal gelirlerinin artmasına bağlı olarak, bu ülkelerin ithalatı da artış gösterirken, aynı zamanda ihracatlarına konu olan ürünlerin çeşitlilikleri ve artan ihracata bağlı olarak elde ettikleri gelirler artmaktadır. Söz konusu ülkelerin küresel rekabette önemli bir aktör haline gelebilmeleri için lojistik ve ulaştırma faaliyetlerine ilişkin verimliliklerinin, etkinliklerinin ve performanslarının farkında olmaları ve alacakları kararları bu faktörlere dayandırmaları son derece önem arz eden bir konudur. Bu nedenle Orta Asya Türk Cumhuriyetlerinin lojistik ve taşımacılık alanında performanslarını değerlendirebilmek için sistematik ve yapısal nitelikte çözüm yolu öneren bir metodolojiye ve modele gereksinim duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada söz konusu ülkelerin lojistik verimliliklerini analiz edebilmek için entegre entropi ve EATWOS yöntemlerinden oluşan hibrid bir model önerilmektedir. Seçilen model ülkelerin lojistik alanında kullandıkları girdi ve çıktı faktörlerine odaklanarak, verimlilik değerlerinin hesaplanmasına olanak sağlarken, aynı zamanda ülkelerin lojistik ve ulaştırma alanında performanslarını ve verimliliklerini karşılaştırma olanağı da sağlamaktadır.

A Hybrid MCDM Model for Performance and Productivity Analysis of Logistics and Transportation Performance of Central Asian Turk Republics

Abstract

Since their independence, the importance of Central Asian Turk Republics in the perspective of international transportation and logistics operations in addition to global trade has been increasing. Especially, in addition to being a country of transit, each of them tries to be hub countries in the international trade thanks to investments, which were made in the fields of transportation and logistics by themselves. At the same time, while the import volume of these countries is shown an increase depending on their national incomes. As well as the range of products that subject to the export, total revenue of countries is also increased day by day. In order to be important actors in international trade, they should be aware of their productivity, effectivity, and performance and should base on their decisions to these factors. Therefore, it is needed a methodology and model, which suggest systematic and structural solution way in order to evaluate the performance of the Republics of Central Asia in the fields of logistics and transportation. In this study, a hybrid model, which consist of integrated entropy and EATWOS methods is proposed in order to analyze the logistical effectivities of these countries. While the selected model can provide the calculation of the logistic performance scores of countries and it provides an opportunity of comparison of logistics effectivity and performance of these countries by focusing the output and input factors.
