Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmanın temel amacı, Çok Kriterli Karar Verme (ÇKKV) problemlerinin çözümü için geliştirilen Bulut Endeks-Beta (BE-β) yöntemini hem teorik hem de uygulamalı olarak tanıtmaktır. Bu kapsamda Bulut Endeks (BE) ile bu yöntemin gelişmiş versiyonu olan BE-β karşılaştırılmıştır.

Yöntem: Yöntemler, Türkiye’deki Temel Eczacılık Ürünlerinin ve Eczacılığa İlişkin Malzemelerin İmalatı sektörünün 2006-2019 dönemi finansal tablo verileri üzerinden test edilmiştir. BE-β versiyonunda işlem adımları hem kısaltılmış hem de sadeleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca her iki yöntemden elde edilen bulgular arasındaki ilişki, Spearman Sıra ve Kendall Tau Korelasyon yöntemleri ile ölçülmüştür.

Bulgular: Spearman sıra ve Kendall Tau korelasyonları sonuçlarına göre BE ve BE-β sıralamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmayan negatif bir ilişki vardır. Temel Eczacılık Ürünlerinin ve Eczacılığa İlişkin Malzemelerin İmalatı sektörünün 2006-2019 dönemi değerlendirildiğinde BE yöntemine göre en iyi alternatif, 57,52 BE skoruna sahip 2019 yılıdır. BE-β yönteminde ise en iyi alternatif 68,12 BE-β skoruna sahip 2014 yılıdır. BE yöntemine göre en düşük performansın gösterildiği alternatif 38,96 BE skoruna sahip 2010 yılıdır. Benzer şekilde BE-β yönteminde de en düşük performansın gösterildiği alternatif 30,72 BE-β skoruna sahip 2010 yılıdır.

Özgünlük: ÇKKV problemlerinin çözümüne yönelik dinamik ve kolay uygulanabilir özgün bir endeks ortaya konulmuştur. Ayrıca endekslerle daha alt seviyelerde çıktı üretilebilmesinden dolayı daha zengin iç görü elde edilerek derinlemesine analiz yapılabilmektedir.

A NEW MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING METHOD: BULUT INDEX-BETA (BI-β)

Abstract

Purpose: The main purpose of the study is to introduce Bulut Index-Beta (BI-β) method developed to solve Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problems, both theoretically and practically. In this context, Bulut Index (BI) and BI-β, which is the advanced version of this method, were compared.

Methodology: The methods were tested on 2006-2019 period financial statement data of Manufacturing of Basic Pharmaceutical Products and Pharmaceutical Materials sector in Turkey. In BI-β method, implementation steps are both shortened and simplified. In addition, the relationship between the findings obtained from both methods was measured with Spearman Rank and Kendall Tau Correlation methods.

Findings: According to the findings of Spearman Rank and Kendall Tau correlations, there is a statistically insignificant negative correlation between BI and BI-β rankings. When 2006-2019 period of Manufacturing of Basic Pharmaceutical Products and Pharmaceutical Materials sector is evaluated, the best alternative according to BI method is the year 2019 with a BI score of 57,52. In BI-β method, the best alternative is the year 2014 having a BI-β score of 68,12. The alternative with the lowest performance according to BI method is the year 2010 with a BI score of 38,96. Similarly, the alternative with the lowest performance in BI-β method was the year 2010 with a BI-β score of 30,72.

Originality: A dynamic and an easy-to-apply unique index for solution of MCDM problems has been put forward. In addition, since outputs can be produced at sub-levels with the indices, richer insights can be obtained, and thus in-depth analysis can be performed.
