Abstract
Selection of proper fuel supplier is extremely important for companies that carry out transportation activities and it can be evaluated as a critical decision to obtain competitive advantages in the transportation market. A structural and systematic frame is suggested in this paper in order to solve the decision problems for fuel supplier selection. In order to determine the selection criteria, the board of experts was constructed and a large number of roundtable meetings that realized in the way of brainstorm were organized with them. One of the most important questions can be asked as what are the selection criteria and decision options for the fuel supplier selection process? Experts who are a decision maker in their companies tried to seek a rational answer to this question. At the end of these meetings, obtained results were re-evaluated by the members of the board and selection criteria and decision options that will use for evaluation process were determined. The decision alternatives are Brand-P, Brand-B, Brand-S, and Brand-O. The selection criteria can be sorted as: fuel price per liter, product quality, service quality, easy terms of payment, brand awareness, environmental sensitivity. Actually, selection of fuel and fuel supplier has an extremely complex characteristic and it is a multi-criteria decision-making problem. In this paper, the analytic hierarchy process theory was selected as a multi-criteria decision making problem in order to solve the decision making problem concerning with fuel and fuel supplier selection process. By using this methodology, decision makers can select the best fuel brand and fuel supplier by comparing variables such as selection criteria and decision alternatives in a mathematical model.

Abstract
aşımacılık faaliyetleri yürüten işletmeler için uygun akaryakıt tedarikçi seçimi son derece önemlidir ve taşımacılık pazarında rekabet avantajları kazanmak için kritik bir karar olarak değerlendirilebilir. Bu çalışma akaryakıt tedarikçisi seçimi ile ilgili karar alma problemlerinin çözümü için sistematik ve yapısal bir çerçeve önermektedir. Seçim kriterlerinin belirlenebilmesi için bir uzmanlar kurulu oluşturulmuş ve bunlarla beyin fırtınası şeklinde gerçekleştirilen toplantılar organize edilmiştir. En önemli sorulardan birisi olan akaryakıt seçim süreçlerinde karar noktaları ve seçim kriterleri nelerdir? Sorusu sorulmuştur. Şirketlerinde karar verici olan uzmanlar bu soruya rasyonel bir yanıt aramışlardır. Bu toplantıların sonunda elde edilen sonuçlar uzmanlar kurulu üyeleri tarafından yeniden değerlendirilmiş ve değerlendirme sürecinde kullanılacak karar alternatif ve seçim kriterleri belirlenmiştir. Karar alternatifleri Marka-P, Marka-B, Marka-S ve Marka-O dur. Seçim kriterleri; litre başına yakıt fiyatı, ürün kalitesi, hizmet kalitesi, ödeme olanakları, marka bilinirliği ve çevreye duyarlılık olarak saptanmıştır. Gerçekte akaryakıt tedarikçisi seçimi son derece karmaşık bir karaktere sahip ve çok kriterli karar alma problemidir. Bu çalışmada Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi yöntemi akaryakıt ve akaryakıt tedarikçisi seçimi süreçleri ile ilgili karar verme problemlerini çözmek için çok kriterli karar verme metodolojisi olarak seçilmiştir. Bu metodolojiyi kullanarak karar vericiler seçim kriterleri ve karar noktaları gibi değişkenleri karşılaştırarak en iyi akaryakıt markası ve tedarikçisini seçebilirler.
