Abstract:

 In this study, the objective is to evaluate 31 jacquard woven sheer curtain fabrics N-01 to N-31, designed for curtain use, based on predetermined criteria through the integration of CRITIC and TOPSIS methods, which are among the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making MCDM techniques.The criterion weights were determined using the CRITIC method, while the overall scores of the 31 samples were calculated via the TOPSIS method, which emphasizes a balanced performance across all criteria rather than high performance in only specific ones. A decision matrix was constructed using four criteria: light transmittance, production time, cost, and weight per square meter. The CRITIC method yielded the following criterion weights in descending order: weight per square meter 0.282, production time 0.281, light transmittance 0.238, and cost 0.198. According to the TOPSIS results, the top three most preferable fabric samples, based on their total scores, were identified as N-06, N-31, and N-28. This research exemplifies how MCDM methodsalthough often overlooked in manual processes due to their requirements for detailed data collection, weighting, and modelingcan be effectively employed in the textile domain for product selection processes. It provides a quantitative and systematic evaluation model for the selection of jacquard sheer curtain fabrics.

 Bu çalışmada perde olarak tasarlanan 31 adet jakarlı tül dokuma kumaşın N-01-N-31 belirlenen kriterler doğrultusunda Çok Kriterleri Karar Verme Yöntemlerinden ÇKKV olan CRITIC ve TOPSIS yönteminin entegrasyonu ile objektif olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kriter ağırlıkları CRITIC Yöntemi ile ve 31 adet numunenin toplam skorları da yalnızca belirli kriterlerde yüksek performans yerine tüm kriterler arasında dengeli bir dağılım performansı gözeten TOPSIS yöntemi ile tespit edilmiştir. Işık geçirgenliği, üretim süresi, fiyat ve metrekare ağırlığından oluşan dört kriter için karar matrisi oluşturulmuştur. CRITIC yöntemi sonucunda kriterlerin ağırlıklarının sırasıyla; metrekare ağırlığı 0,282 ve üretim süresi 0,281, ışık geçirgenliği 0,238 ve maliyet 0,198 olduğu görülmüştür. TOPSIS sonuçlarında ise toplam skorlarına göre tercih edilebilirliği en yüksek ilk üç numune sıralamasını N-06, N-31 ve N-28 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu araştırma ile günümüzde detaylı veri toplama, ağırlıklandırma ve modelleme süreçleri gerektirdiğinden manuel süreçlerde fazla tercih edilmeyen ÇKKV yöntemlerinin tekstil alanında ürün seçimi süreçlerinde nasıl kullanılabileceği örneklenmiş, Jakarlı tül kumaş seçiminde nicel ve sistematik bir değerlendirme modeli sunulmuştur.
