Tedarikçi Seçim Kriterlerinin Aralık Değerli Pisagor Bulanık AHP Yöntemi ile Değerlendirilmesi

Year 2025, Volume: 22 Issue: 4, 769 - 778
https://doi.org/10.26466/opusjsr.1710659

Abstract

Tedarikçi seçimi günümüzde bir işletmenin vermesi gereken en önemli kararlardan birisidir. Özellikle küreselleşme ve rekabetin artması ile birlikte tedarikçi seçimi ve tedarik seçerken göz önünde bulundurulması gereken kriterler daha önemli olmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda bu çalışmanın amacı, mobilya üretici bir işletmenin tedarikçi seçim kriterlerini önem derecesini belirlemektedir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 9 kriter - kalite, zamanında teslimat, malzeme fiyatı, bilgi paylaşımı, satış sonrası hizmet, teslimat süresi, miktar indirimi, iş sağlığı ve güvenliği sistemi ve taşımacılık maliyetleri – değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Kriterlerin önem dereceleri belirlenirken Aralık değerli Pisagor bulanık AHP (Interval Valued Pythagorean Fuzzy AHP / IVPF-AHP) yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Üç uzman görüşü alınarak değerlendirilen kriterler ve yapılan hesaplamalara göre tedarikçi seçiminde en önemli kriter taşımacılık maliyetleri olarak belirlenmiştir. Taşımacılık maliyetleri kriterini sırasıyla zamanında teslimat, malzeme fiyatı, kalite, miktar indirimi, teslimat süresi, satış sonrası hizmet, bilgi paylaşımı ve iş sağlığı ve güvenliği sistemi kriterleri takip etmiştir.

Evaluating Supplier Selection Criteria with Interval Pythagorean Fuzzy AHP

https://doi.org/10.26466/opusjsr.1710659

Abstract

Supplier selection is one of the most critical decisions a business must make today. Especially with the rise of globalization and increasing competition, both the process of selecting suppliers and the criteria considered during selection have gained greater significance. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to determine the importance levels of supplier selection criteria for a furniture manufacturing company. For this purpose, nine criteria—quality, delivery on time, material price, information sharing, after-sales service, lead time, quantity discount, occupational health and safety system, and transportation costs—were evaluated. The Interval-Valued Pythagorean Fuzzy AHP (IVPF-AHP) method was employed to assess the importance levels of these criteria. Based on evaluations from three experts and subsequent calculations, transportation costs emerged as the most critical criterion in supplier selection. This was followed, respectively, by delivery on time, material price, quality, quantity discount, lead time, after-sales service, information sharing, and the occupational health and safety system.
