Abstract:

 

Nowadays, with the increasing trend of globalization, companies are continuously  looking for the ways to improve their performance and stay competitive in their  markets. To do so, logistics operations have an increasing importance throughout  the World. Logistics as a global term is also very crucial for countries’ welfare as  well. As a developing country, Turkey’s progress in logistics is highly correlated  to various parameters such as Turkey’s geo-strategic location, ongoing accession  negotiations with European Union, participation to routes within the corridors of  EU transport policy and container flow between Europe and Asia. Increasing  volume and value of logistics activities in Turkey raised the necessity to analyze  the market in detail. In this study, Turkish logistics sector is statistically analyzed  in the view of each transport mode and logistics activity. Analysis phase is based  on three fundamental frameworks that are called as traffic (flows), infrastructure  and modal splits. The problems that are derived from analysis phase are clustered  according to the criteria listed in Logistics Performance Index Report published  by World Bank in 2010. Solutions to apply to emerging problems that can be  reflected in each cluster are selected by considering a number of performance  factors by using a deterministic dynamic multicriteria decision making technique.
