This study aims to develop a framework for the selection of sustainable third-party logistics service providers (3PLSPs) for the pharmaceutical industry by developing an integrated decision-making framework based on fuzzy SWARA and fuzzy MAIRCA methods. To achieve this goal, 21 selection criteria were determined within the scope of economic, infrastructure, environmental, and social basic dimensions through literature review and expert opinions. Then, the weights of these criteria were calculated using the fuzzy SWARA method. Finally, alternative sustainable 3PLSPs were ranked using the fuzzy MAIRCA method. The findings indicate that the most crucial criteria for selecting sustainable 3PLSPs are financial stability, industry-specific knowledge and experience, environmental protection, and worker health and safety, corresponding to economic, infrastructure, environmental, and social dimensions, respectively.

Bulanık Tabanlı SWARA ve MAIRCA Yöntemlerini Kullanarak İlaç Endüstrisinde Sürdürülebilir 3PL Hizmet Sağlayıcı Seçimi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, bulanık SWARA ve bulanık MAIRCA yöntemlerine dayalı bütünleşik bir karar alma çerçevesi geliştirerek ilaç endüstrisi için sürdürülebilir üçüncü taraf lojistik hizmet sağlayıcılarının seçimi için bir çerçeve oluşturmaktır. Bu hedefe ulaşmak için literatür taraması ve uzman görüşleri yoluyla ekonomik, altyapı, çevresel ve sosyal temel boyutlar kapsamında 21 seçim kriteri belirlenmiştir. Daha sonra bulanık SWARA yöntemi kullanılarak bu kriterlerin ağırlıkları hesaplanmıştır. Son olarak bulanık MAIRCA yöntemi kullanılarak alternatif sürdürülebilir üçüncü taraf lojistik hizmet sağlayıcıları sıralanmıştır. Bulgular, sürdürülebilir üçüncü taraf lojistik hizmet sağlayıcılarının seçilmesi için en önemli kriterlerin sırasıyla ekonomik, altyapı, çevresel ve sosyal boyutlara karşılık gelen finansal istikrar, sektöre özgü bilgi ve deneyim, çevre koruma ve işçi sağlığı ve güvenliği olduğunu göstermektedir.
