EVALUATION OF OPTIMAL LOCATION SELECTION CRITERIA USINGANF-AHP APPROACH

Abstract

Тhe selection procedure is not sufficiently structured, depends on broad areas of knowledge, and requires the use of efficient and effective tools for decision-making. Taking into account the significance of selection and ranking of different locations, it is necessary to compare, as objectively as possible, the influences of various criteria and present the methodology of solving complex problems associated with ranking of alternatives. In this study, a combined approach which employs the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (F-AHP) and methods for ranking of alternativesis proposed for the optimal logistics center location. Changes in the final ranking indicate the importance of determining the relative weights. In order to confirm the results obtained by the proposed approach as well as proof of applicability and practicality of the same, the discussed problem is analyzed using standard and modified methods of multicriteria analysis. The purpose of this paper was to give systematic review and adequate support for decision-making in the selection procedure.
