Applying a multi-criteria decision methodology in the implementation of tenders for the acquisition of the infrastructure of logistics systems

Abstract

The study begins by questions of the necessity of using tenders, then, continues detailing the implementation of tenders starting from the preparation of the call for offers up to making the final decision. Meanwhile, it elaborates the practical experiences of tenders for the acquisition of warehouse logistics systems. It emphasises the application of multi-criteria predecisional algorithms in the assessment of offers received for tender. To this end, it demonstrates a self-developed system. Finally, it evaluates the effects of the applied tender algorithm in brief.

Assessing the Logistics Efficiency of European Countries by Using the Dea-Pc Methodology

“…Furthermore, multi-criteria decision making methods (e.g. Kovács, Bóna 2009) can also be combined with DEA to provide full ranking. Sinuany-Stern et al (2000) integrate analytic hierarchy process (AHP) with DEA: the pairwise comparison matrix of AHP is created through the objective evaluation of pairs of DMUs by DEA.…”

Information System as a Tool of Decision Support

“…The inputs (raw materials, semiproducts, energy) are analysed by ABC method for appropriate supplier selection from a set of possible suppliers. The ABC method selects inputs that have high portion on final product price (Kovács et al, 2009). This analysis contains the selection of the most appropriate supplier from price forecast of individual input, the reliability of supply, services of the supplier.…”

Customer Satisfaction in the Field of Comprehensive Service of Refrigerated Containers in Seaports

“…Moreover, there is a number of publications presenting the multi-criteria decision methodology used for improvement of transport and logistics systems functioning (Grzybowska and Kovács, 2017;Kovács and Bóna, 2009;Esztergár-Kiss and Csiszár, 2016;Galkin, 2015). However, there is lack of literature positions showing the multicriteria evaluation of factors forming the comprehensive service of perishable goods in container terminals.…”
