Evaluation of Forklift Alternatives with KEMIRA-M Method
Öz
Businesses generally
uses forklifts for lifting, stacking and transporting to the desired location
of heavy loads in case of human power is not enough. It is important to select
suitable forklifts for the physical conditions of the warehouses in order to
ensure the active use of them. In storage, the selection of the appropriate
forklift for physical conditions of the warehouse is important to use
warehouses effectively. In this study, KEMIRA-M (KEmeny Median Indicator Rank
Accordance-Modified) method, which is a new Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM)
method, was used to evaluate forklift alternatives to be used in storage and to
determine the most appropriate forklift for the textile company. This method
does not require much initial information, so it can be used to determine the
weights of the criteria and to select the most appropriate alternative. As a
result of the study, forklift alternative that will best meet the needs of the
textile company was determined with KEMIRA-M method, by this way the company
has been aided during the decision process.
