Özet

Location selection of a logistics center is one of decision-making problems involving uncertainty. In order to reflect uncertainties in the selection process, fuzzy logic is usually applied. For this aim, we used a fuzzy decision making methodology for choosing a logistics center location. In this paper, location selection problem for a logistics center has been examined for the Eastern Anatolia Region in Turkey. For this aim, cities named Malatya, Erzurum and Van identified as alternatives and four main and six sub-criteria are identified to assess the priorities of these cities. As a result, the best logistics center location alternative has been determined for the eastern Anatolia region.
