Stokastik Çok Kriterli Kabul Edilebilirlik Analizi ile Bir Kamu Kurumu için Tesis Yeri Seçimi/Facility Location Selection for a Public Organization by Stochastic Multi-criteria Acceptability Analysis

The facility location problem, especially in the last 50 years, is an area where too many studies occur. Rapidly evolving technology, environmental factors, the necessity to reduce operation costs required to compete and many factors such as changes in customer perception of satisfaction force cost effective solutions by using scientific methods for these problems. In this study, a real life public sector facility location problem is examined. The problem fundamentally originated from the desire of public sector to downsize the number of service centers stationed in various cities and towns countrywide. Existing facilities are sorted in two groups as facilities which stay opened and facilities which should be closed according to criteria determined by general management. In the study Stochastic Multi-Criteria Acceptability Analysis-TRI (SMAA-TRI) is used as the method.
