Facilities such as factories and warehouses are now dependent on all the conditions of that region as soon as they are established. A wrong decision can cause problems that last for years. As a result, this selection process, which includes numerous criteria, is critical. In our paper, we demonstrate a study that was conducted to determine the new facility location of a company that manufactures composite rotor blades. To determine criterion weights, an Improved Fuzzy Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (IMF-SWARA) method was used, and Fuzzy Combinative Distance-based Assessment (F-CODAS) methods were utilized to evaluate alternative locations.

Geliştirilmiş Bulanık SWARA ve Bulanık CODAS Yöntemleriyle Tesis Yeri Seçimi: İmalat Sektöründe Bir Uygulama

Öz

Fabrika, depo gibi tesisler kuruldukları andan itibaren işletmeyi artık o bölgenin tüm koşullarına bağlı kılmaktadır. Yanlış bir karar, uzun yıllar sürecek problemleri beraberinde getirebilmektedir. Bu nedenle, birçok kriteri içerisinde barındıran yer seçimi süreci oldukça önemlidir. Makalemizde, kompozit pervane imalatı gerçekleştiren bir işletmenin, yeni tesis yerinin belirlenebilmesi için bir çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kriter ağırlıklarının belirlenmesinde Geliştirilmiş Bulanık Adım Adım Ağırlık Değerlendirme Oran Analizi (GB-SWARA), alternatiflerin değerlendirilmesinde ise Bulanık Birleştirilebilir Uzaklık Tabanlı Değerlendirme Yöntemi (B-CODAS) yöntemleri kullanılmıştır.
