Dinamik ve karmaşık lojistik sektöründe, risklerin ve krizlerin ortaya çıkışı etkili yönetim stratejilerine olan kritik ihtiyacı beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu araştırma, lojistik endüstrisindeki risk ve kriz yönetimi uygulamalarını kapsamlı bir şekilde analiz ederek, uygun stratejileri belirlemeyi ve bunları Analitik Hiyerarşi Süreci (AHP) yöntemi ile önceliklendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Beş endüstri uzmanı ile yapılan görüşmeler aracılığıyla ve derinlemesine literatür taraması ile bu çalışma lojistik şirketlerinin karşılaştığı zorlukları ve mevcut risk ve kriz yönetimi yaklaşımlarını ortaya çıkarmaktadır. AHP yöntemi kullanılarak, araştırma bu stratejileri önemleri ve potansiyel etkileri temelinde sistematik bir çerçeve ile önceliklendirmektedir. Bulgular, stratejik risk ve kriz yönetimi araç setinin gelişimine katkıda bulunmakta ve lojistik firmalarının zorluklarla etkin bir şekilde başa çıkmasını, uyum sağlamasını ve dinamik iş ortamında dayanıklılığını güçlendirmesini sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışma, lojistik profesyonelleri, akademisyenler ve politika yapıcılar için değerli bilgiler sunarak, onların lojistik sektöründe operasyonel verimliliği artırmak ve uzun vadeli sürdürülebilirliği sağlamak için harekete geçmelerine olanak tanıyacaktır.

Managing Risks and Crises in the Logistics Sector: A Comprehensive Analysis of Strategies and Prioritization Using AHP Method

Öz

In the fast-paced and intricate landscape of the logistics sector, the emergence of risks and crises presents a critical need for effective management strategies. This research undertakes a comprehensive analysis of risk and crisis management practices within the logistics industry, aiming to identify viable strategies and prioritize them using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Through an in-depth literature review and insights gathered from interviews with five industry experts, this study unveils the challenges faced by logistics companies and unveils existing risk and crisis management approaches. Employing the AHP method, the research provides a systematic framework for prioritizing these strategies based on their significance and potential impact. The findings contribute to the development of a strategic risk and crisis management toolkit, empowering logistics firms to proactively address challenges, ensure adaptability, and bolster resilience amidst a dynamic business environment. The insights provided by this study will prove invaluable to logistics professionals, scholars, and policymakers, enabling them to take actionable measures that enhance operational efficiency and ensure long-term sustainability within the logistics sector.
