AHP Application for Logistics Center Location Selection According to Criteria

Abstract

Today, logistics is effective in every field and has an important share in the revival of both domestic and foreign trade. The rapid increase in competition in global trade has increased the importance of the logistics sector and, accordingly, logistics centers. With well-planned and high-performance logistics centers in our country, the contribution of the logistics sector to the economy will increase and it will be ensured that our country is a logistics base in international transportation corridors. In this study, Criteria were determined conducting a comprehensive literature review for logistics center location These criteria consist of seven main criteria, namely population, economy, cost, socio-economic status, infrastructure, geographical location and service, and twenty-seven sub-criteria belonging to these main criteria. The criterias were evaluated by benefiting from the opinions of experts in the field of logistics, and the order of importance of the main and sub-criteria determined for the logistics center location determination was found by AHP methods.
