Özet:

The increasing use of inputs in production and the becoming complexity of production processes affect the selection of suppliers. In case of failure of suppliers to react against possible fluctuations in demand, both the profitability of the firm will decrease and the reliability problem will be faced. Therefore, working with the right suppliers has a strategic importance in the survival of the firms, especially in production costs. Nowadays, it is possible to find many scientific-based applications for supplier selection. Especially in the multi-criteria decision-making techniques, where significant developments have been observed in recent years, applications that contain many parameters and enable rational selection have been developed. In this way, decision-makers often have no difficulty in determining the right choice among the various alternatives that involve uncertainty and are influenced by many criteria. In this study, axiomatic design, which is commonly used among multi-criteria decision-making techniques and which is developed to determine the best one among different alternatives under the influence of many criteria, has been used to select a supplier for lojistic sector by using this method. The method has an important privilege due to its ease of application and its ability to use qualitative/ quantitative criteria together. For the criteria determined in practice, both upper and lower limits were determined according to the expectations of the firm and the potential of alternative suppliers to meet these expectations, and the most appopirate supplier was determined as a result of the analysis performed with axiomatic design technique.
