ÇOK ÖLÇÜTLÜ KARAR VERME YÖNTEMLERİ İLE İŞLEME MERKEZİ SEÇİMİ: İMALAT İŞLETMESİNDE UYGULAMA.

Businesses use resources such as labor, machinery, and transportation systems in the production process to carry out their activities. Various machines such as turning, milling and machining centers are used in the production sector. For businesses in the machining sector, the most critical machine group is machining centers. Machining center selection is a long term and strategic decision that requires a high amount of capital investments for manufacturing enterprises. In this study, selecting a machining center planned to be purchased for manufacturing enterprises is examined. The effective criteria for selecting the machining center are determined by the literature review and the interview with experts in this field. Alternatives has been determined by experts from the manufacturing enterprise's procurement unit where the application was made. The number of alternatives was reduced to three by making scoring among the determined alternatives. In this study has been determined five main criteria and eleven sub-criteria. Analytic Network Process (ANP) was used to find the weight of criteria. Two different methods were used to sort and select alternatives, namely PROMETHEE and VIKOR methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
