The art of managing materials; logistics play a crucial role inefficiency and productivity of companies. It is very significant to determinemost influential logistic factors since logistic costs account for 30% of totalcompany costs. The factors affecting success of logistic enterprises such ascost, speed, reliability, customer satisfaction, distribution channel, companyimage, environmental friendliness and technological innovations areinvestigated and ranked in this study. Three different approaches based onPythagorean Fuzzy sets, triangular fuzzy numbers and Analytic Hierarchy Processis offered for ranking these factors. Although it has been introduced toliterature recently, the pythagorean fuzzy sets are widely employed incalculating uncertainty. The three most influential logistic factors arerevealed as cost, speed and reliability, respectively by employing AHP, FuzzyAHP and Pythagorean Fuzzy AHP, however factor weights are different. We thinkthat the differences with in the AHP, F-AHP and PF-AHP results may stem fromexpressing evaluations in exact values, linguistic terms or in some cases itmay be related to fulfilling the condition of membership and non-membership.Furthermore, top 10 logistic firms in Turkey are scored and ranked to thesefactors. Logistics, Pythagorean fuzzy sets, AHP, Fuzzy AHP, MCDM.
