Abstract:

Purpose- Agri-food supply chain is an important supply chain for our country in terms of both cost and food safety. In this context, the selection of suppliers, manufacturers and logistics companies that make up the chain and the relations between them are extremely important, and the quality of the companies that make up the chain must be high in order to create effective and efficient supply chains. In this study, the author aimed to conduct a research on the creation of an integrated supply chain with a collaborative approach. The framework of the study is limited to the producers, suppliers and logistics enterprises, which are the main actors in the agriculture-food value chain. Methodology- The author proposes an integrated methodology for collaborative work in the agri-food supply chain. Within the framework of the methodology created within the framework of the CPFR method, the chains that enable the stakeholders included in the system to deliver the product to the demand points at the most affordable cost were determined by the linear programming model. In the second stage, meeting the demands created with random numbers was simulated. Finally, the suitability of the model was tested with the data of a company. Findings- The findings show that the product moves less if the stakeholders in the chain are correctly matched within the framework of the collaborative approach. In addition, it has been seen that the needs of both demand points are met thanks to the correct match. In addition, a positive effect has been achieved in the use of the stakeholders' capacities. Conclusion- This article is one of the first studies that looks at the agri-food supply chain in an integrated way and evaluates the processes within the framework of a collaborative approach. The study also contributes to improvement in the sector in terms of including the stakeholders involved in the collaborative process into the system according to the criteria determined.
