Öz

Sektörlerin bünyesinde bulunan tedarikçi bağlılığı maddi unsurların yanı sıra işletmelerin rekabet güçlerini de etkilemektedir. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, farklı sektörlerin bünyesinde var olan tedarikçi bağlılığının değerlendirilmesidir. Bu araştırmada sektörlerin bünyesinde yer alan tedarikçi bağlılığının değerlendirilmesi için DEMATEL ve MAUT yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Bu amaçla ilk olarak uzman görüşleri ve ilgili literatür araştırması doğrultusunda tedarikçi bağlılığını etkileyen faktörler belirlenmiştir. Faktörlerin belirlenmesinin ardından tedarikçi bağlılığını etkileyen faktörler DEMATEL yöntemiyle önceliklendirilmiştir. Faktör önceliklerinin belirlenmesinin ardından MAUT yöntemiyle sektörlerin tedarikçi bağlılığı değerlendirilmiştir. Son olarak senaryo analizi gerçekleştirilerek araştırmanın sonuçlarında meydana gelebilecek değişimler incelenmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen analizin sonuçları, “Maliyetler”in tedarikçi bağlılığında en önemli faktör olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca, tekstil sektörü araştırmadaki sektörler içerisinde tedarikçi bağlılığı açısından en yüksek sektör olarak belirlenmiştir.
