The Selection of Logistics Center Location Based on AHP-TOPSIS Method: A Study on Çukurova Region

Öz

The aim of this study is to determine the best locations to be a logistics center for the Çukurova region. The alternatives covered in this study were evaluated based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methods, which are the most preferred Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques. In determining the criteria, the relevant literature was reviewed and the opinions of four experts in the logistics sector were consulted. The criterion weights were calculated by the AHP method and the preference ranking of the alternatives was made by the TOPSIS method. The results indicated that Adana is the most suitable location for a logistics center in the Çukurova region. Additionally, it was determined that Mersin and Hatay in the ranking were very close to each other, but Hatay had a higher value compared to Mersin.

AHP-TOPSIS YÖNTEMİNE DAYALI LOJİSTİK MERKEZ KURULUŞ YERİ SEÇİMİ: ÇUKUROVA BÖLGESİ ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Öz

Bu çalışmada, Çukurova bölgesinde lojistik merkezi olmaya en uygun yer veya yerlerin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışma kapsamında ele alınan aday şehirler Çok Kriterli Karar Verme (ÇKKV) teknikleri arasında en çok tercih edilen Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) ve Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) yöntemlerine dayalı olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Kriterlerin belirlenmesinde ilgili alan yazın taranmış, lojistik alanında uzman 4 kişinin görüşlerine başvurulmuştur. AHP yöntemi ile kriter ağırlıkları hesaplanmış ve alternatiflerin tercih sıralaması TOPSIS yöntemi ile yapılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, Adana alternatifinin Çukurova bölgesinde lojistik merkezi olmaya aday en uygun yer olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, sıralamada Mersin ve Hatay aday şehirlerinin birbirine çok yakın değerler aldığı ancak Hatay şehrinin, Mersin’e kıyasla daha iyi değere sahip olduğu saptanmıştır.
