ÖzTedarik Zinciri Yönetimi (TZY) performans faktörleri uygulanabilir ve verimli bir işletme faaliyeti gerçekleştirmek için hayati derecede öneme sahiptir. TZY performans faktörleri maliyet, kalite, esneklik, lojistik seviyesi, bilgi paylaşımı gibi unsurlara doğrudan etki etmesi sebebi ile işletmeler açısından oldukça önemlidir. Öte yandan işletmeye uygun rekabet stratejisi seçimi, pek çok karar problemini içinde barındıran bir çeşit Çok Kriterli Karar Verme (ÇKKV) problemidir. Dolayısıyla böyle bir durumda ÇKKV yöntemlerinin uygulanması tercih edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada; Ordu ili'nde 50 ve üzeri çalışanı olan imalat işletmelerinde SWARA temelli ARAS ve COPRAS yöntemleri ile TZY performans faktörlerinin önem dereceleri ortaya konulmuş ve en ideal rekabet stratejisi seçimi yapılmıştır. Yapılan değerlendirme sonucunda TZY performans unsurlarından en önemlisi "esneklik" faktörü olmuştur. Diğer taraftan hem ARAS hem de COPRAS yönteminde "Odaklanma stratejisi"nin en ideal rekabet stratejisi olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. AbstractSupply chain management (SCM) performance factors are vital to achieving an applicable and efficient business activity. SCM performance factors are very important for businesses as they have direct impact on cost, quality, flexibility, logistics level, information sharing. On the other hand, choosing a competitive strategy suitable for the business is a kind of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem that includes many decision problems. Therefore, in such a case, the application of the methods of MCDM is preferred. In this study, the importance of SWARA based ARAS and COPRAS methods and SCM performance criteria were determined and the most ideal competition strategy selection was made in manufacturing enterprises with 50 or more employees in Ordu province. As a result of the evaluation, the most important of the performance elements of SCM was the "flexibility" factor. On the other hand, both "ARAS" and "COPRAS" method have achieved "Focus strategy" as the most ideal competition strategy. GİRİŞKüreselleşme olgusu ile birlikte son yüzyılda teknolojik, ekonomik, sosyal yani hemen hemen her süreçte çeşitli gelişmeler ve değişmeler yaşanmıştır. Bu değişim ve gelişmeler beraberinde TZY performans unsurları olan maliyet, kalite, esneklik,

PurposeForests are negatively affected from rapid world population increase and industrialization that create intense pressures on natural resources and the possibility of an achieving circular economy. Forests can be considered as essential resources for providing sustainable society and meeting the requirements of future generations and circular economy. Therefore sustainable production tools as part of circular economy can be handled as one of the basic indicators for achieving circular economy. Accordingly the main purpose of this study is developing a novel rough – fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making model (MCDM) for evaluation sustainable production for forestry firms in Eastern Black Sea Region.Design/methodology/approachFor determining 18 criteria weights a novel Rough PIPRECIA (PIvot Pairwise RElative Criteria Importance Assessment) method is developed. Eight decision-makers (DMs) participated in the research, and to obtain group rough decision matrix, rough Dombi weighted geometric averaging (RNDWGA) operator has been applied. For evaluation forestry firms fuzzy MARCOS (Measurement of alternatives and ranking according to COmpromise solution) method was utilized.FindingsAfter application developed model the fourth alternative was found as the best. Sensitivity analysis and comparison were made to present the applicability of this method.Originality/valueDevelopment of novel integrated Rough PIPRECIA-Fuzzy MARCOS model with emphasis on developing new Rough PIPRECIA method.

PurposeSustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices and policies are necessary for businesses that seek to take part in international markets and ensure any form of competitiveness. Over time, and especially in the recent past, researchers, governments, and other policymakers have made use of broad and systematic approaches and come to appreciate the value-enhancing activities of sustainability.Design/methodology/approachBusinesses have embraced the integration of sustainable policies and practices within the supply chain as a critical step in ensuring the efficiency of their operations. It is clear in previous studies and operational programs of enterprises that SSCM practices accord businesses certain benefits including improving their environmental, social, and economic performance, and increasing their ecological awareness by way of influencing performance elements within supply networks in enterprises. The study examines the factors influencing performance and theories of SSCM using a neutrosophic method in the textile industry.FindingsSSCM performance is thus of great importance in ensuring business success and competitiveness, realizing customer satisfaction, and leaving the environment in a desirable state for future generations. Performance management, by assisting in the decision-making by managers and ensuring an adequate level of internal interaction, is an integral part of assimilating sustainability management into businesses. SSCM theories also have a strong impact on the determination of the sources of competitive advantage through effective utilization of business capabilities to solve environmental and social challenges that may affect business performance.Originality/valueIn line with the benefits highlighted, this study seeks to evaluate and select the factors affecting SSCM performance and theory in textile enterprises with corporate identity in Ordu and Giresun provinces following a neutrosophic approach. To this end, the elements obtained from the literature review are evaluated using the MULTIMOORA-mGqNN method.

The deterioration of environmental factors, economic and technological development, the formation of complexity in societies, the rise of complex structures have made the environment and green management practices more important. Especially value-creating green approaches are considered as critical components in both public and private sector applications and defined as indicators of success in terms of sustainability. On the other hand, green marketing strategies are also important practices that have a positive impact on the environment and should be carefully emphasized for the inheritance of nature to future generations. Recently, it has been on the agenda quite a lot and it is understood for all sectors.In this study, it is aimed to determine the criteria for value-creating green approach practices in logistics companies operating in the TR A1 region due to the above mentioned importance and to choose the most ideal green marketing strategy. In solving this problem, Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods, which are a complex decision-making method, have been used. According to the results of the research, it was determined that the most important criterion in value creating green approach applications as Environmental Focused Strategic Decisions (C3), and the least important criterion as Environmental Life Cycle Analysis (C2). It has been determined that the most ideal green marketing strategy is Green Innovation (A1). Accordingly the importance of the environmental based strategic decisions is revealed in terms of creating green marketing strategy for companies.

Makale TarihçesiÖz − Meydana gelen felaketler çoğunlukla öngörülemez ama her an oluşabileceği varsayılarak önlem almak gerekmektedir. Afet durumunda ihtiyaç duyulan malzemelerin temin edilmesi ve gerekli müdahalelerin yapılması, afete maruz kalan kimselerin hayatta kalmasına doğrudan etki eden çok önemli uygulamalardır. Özellikle gerekli olan malzemenin doğru ve süratli bir biçimde yerine ulaştırılması, ideal afet depo yeri seçimi bileşenlerinin dikkatli bir biçimde incelenmesi ve analiz edilmesine bağlıdır. Depo yerlerinin yanlış belirlenmesi demek, afet bölgesine yardım gönderilememesi veya gönderilen yardımların doğru yere ulaşmaması anlamına gelmektedir. Bu durum yapılan bütün uğraşların boşa gitmesi ve afetzedelerin gerekli yardımları alamamalarıyla sonuçlanabilir. Bu çalışmada, sürdürülebilir afet lojistiğine yönelik Giresun'da ideal afet depo yeri seçimi ölçütleri değerlendirilmiş ve ideal afet depo yeri seçimi yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla sürdürülebilir ideal afet depo yeri seçimi alternatiflerinin belirleyicisi olan ölçütlerin ağırlıklandırılması, AHS (Analitik Hiyerarşi Süreci) yöntemi ile yapılmıştır. Daha sonra, AHS temelli MAUT (Multi Attribute Utility Theory-Çok Nitelikli Karar Verme) ve SAW (Simple Additive Weighting-Basit Toplamlı Ağırlıklandırma) yöntemleriyle ideal afet depo yeri seçimi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan değerlendirme sonucunda ideal afet depo yeri seçimi ölçütlerinin en önemlisi "Altyapı" olmuştur. En önemli alt ölçütün ise "Afetsellik Yapısı" olduğu görülmüştür. Öte yandan hem MAUT hem de SAW yöntemleri ile elde edilen sonuçlara göre sürdürülebilir ideal afet depo yerinin "A2" olduğu saptanmıştır.
