THE POTENTIAL OF TURKEY AS A LOGISTICS CENTER BETWEEN FAR EAST AND EUROPE: AN APPLICATION IN ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY

Öz

The trade between Asia and Europe is steadily increasing. In some

industries the products are mainly produced in Far East countries due to

their cost advantages and exported Europe directly. In some cases however,

some final products are produced at the markets or close to them in

European Union since these products gain weight or volume in case they

are produced at origin. The electronics industry is organized in such a

context and the parts that are produced in the Far East countries are

imported by Turkey where they are assembled into electronic products and

exported to the European countries.

In this study, it is tried to analyze if Turkey can be a logistics center

to store, distribute and add value to the parts coming from Far East and

sending the resulting products into the EU. In the study, location choice

theories and models are used. The study showed that many quantitative and

qualitative techniques are used in location choice decision on plant and

distribution centers but very few studies exist on logistics center location

choice.

The study is based on Alfred Weber’s location theory. In our

analysis, we have used the center of gravity method which is a method of operational researches to understand if Turkey is the right location which minimizes the transportation costs between Far East and EU. The study has revealed that with current market potential and supply sources, the location which minimizes the total transportation costs in electronics industry is not within the boundaries of Turkey. Giving the location decisions for logistics centers necessitates further studies.
