Applying an Integrated Fuzzy MCDM Method to Select Hub Location for Global Shipping Carrier-based Logistics Service Providers
نویسنده
چکیده
A good hub centre will effectively help expand agglomeration economy effects and increase competitive advantages for global shipping carrier-based logistics service providers (GSLPs). Hence, the selection of hub location of logistics centre is very important for the GSLP companies. In light of this, the main purpose of this paper is to develop an integrated fuzzy MCDM model to evaluate the best selection of hub location for GSLPs. At first, some concepts and methods used to develop the proposed model are briefly introduced. Then, we develop an integrated fuzzy MCDM method. Finally, a step by step example is illustrated to study the computational process of the proposed fuzzy MCDM model. In addition, the proposed approach has successfully accomplished our goal.
