MEASUREMENT OF SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE IN TEXTILE INDUSTRY BY USING A MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING METHOD

Year 2015, Volume: 25 Issue: 1, 3 - 9, 01.06.2015

Abstract

The concept of sustainability has been well fitted to the aim of industrial applications for managing limited resources and producing with minimum harm to environment. From this aspect, importance of sustainable manufacturing and monitoring environmental impact has been increased rapidly for both researchers and decision makers. Therefore, there is a need to measure “sustainability” with its three aspects such as environmental, economic and social dimensions. Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods provide a useful framework for measuring and the evaluation of sustainability performance. This paper presents a study based on the data related with environmental factors for assessing a company’s production performance from the aspect of sustainability by concentrating on a corporate group in textile industry. TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method is adopted and data from annual reports of Inditex Group is used while assessing sustainability performance

ÇOK KRİTERLİ KARAR VERME METODU KULLANILARAK TEKSTİL ENDÜSTRİSİNDE SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİK PERFORMANSI ÖLÇÜMÜ

Year 2015, Volume: 25 Issue: 1, 3 - 9, 01.06.2015

Abstract

Sürdürülebilirlik, endüstriyel uygulamaların kıt kaynakları yönetmek ve çevreye en az hasar verecek üretimi hedefleyen yapısıyla uyumlu olan bir konsepttir. Bu açıdan yaklaşıldığında, sürdürülebilir imalat ve çevresel etkinin izlenmesi, araştırmacı ve endüstrideki karar vericiler açısından önem kazanmaktadır. Sürdürülebilirliğin çevresel, ekonomik ve sosyal olmak üzere üç boyutu bulunmaktadır ve bu üç boyutun değerlendirilmesi bir ihtiyaç haline gelmektedir. Çok kriterli karar verme yöntemleri ise sürdürülebilirlik performansını ölçme ve değerlendirmede kullanışlı bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Bu makale, tekstil sektöründeki bir kurumsal şirketin üretim faaliyetlerinin çevresel faktörler baz alınarak performans değerlendirmesini sürdürülebilirlik açısından ele almaktadır. Bu çalışmada şirketin yıllık raporlarından derlenen veriler TOPSIS yöntemiyle ele alınarak şirketin sürdürülebilirlik performansı değerlendirilmiştir
