EVALUATION OF LOGISTIC DISTRIBUTION CENTER SELECTION USING THE FUZZY MCDM APPROACH

Abstract

This paper intends to propose an evaluation method to assess locations of logistic distribution center (LDC). In the investment of logistics service providers, it is crucial to select logistic distribution center to maximize their profits and minimize the costs. In the decision-making process, the human preference model usually involves uncertainty and it is extremely difficult for decision makers to express the strengths of their preferences. To solve this problem, this paper establishes a fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) model based on fuzzy AHP for the LDC assessment so that decision makers can express their preference with uncertainty.
