Özet:

Purpose: The aim of the study is to determine the importance weights of the criteria that a company operating in the field of composite propellers in the manufacturing sector in Istanbul, Turkey should consider in choosing a facility location. In this context, the fuzzy Full Consistency Method (FUCOM), one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods, was used by using five main criteria and twenty-one sub-criteria. Method/Design/Methodology/Approach: A decision-making group consisting of nine experts with two to thirty-five years of experience was formed for the research, and it was aimed to determine the importance weights of the criteria with the fuzzy FUCOM method, which is one of the MCDM methods. Fuzzy FUCOM, a fairly new method, provides a suitable framework for determining criterion weights due to its advantage in consistency and minimum number of comparisons. Findings: The most important facility location selection criteria in the framework of the analysis; investment cost, operation and maintenance costs, government incentives, land expansion potential, and carbon footprint. Originality: It is thought that determining the importance weights of the facility location selection criteria by using the fuzzy logic integrated version of FUCOM, which is an up-to-date method, is an original contribution. Keywords: Facility Location Selection, Multi-Criteria Decision Making, Fuzzy FUCOM
