Stochastic AHP and fuzzy VIKOR approach for warehouse location selection problem

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to develop a stochastic multi-criteria decision-making approach to solute the warehouse location problem in the stochastic environment which contains uncertain condition.

Design/methodology/approach

In developed approach, the weight of criteria was calculated by using the stochastic analytic hierarchy process (SAHP) method. Alternative ranking was made and evaluated by fuzzy VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje).

Findings

This study dealt with warehouse location selection problem of a supermarket that has sellers in many regions in Turkey and selected proper warehouse.

Originality/value

This study combined SAHP and fuzzy VIKOR methods as a solution approach for warehouse location selection problems.
