The Selection of the Logistics Distribution Center Location Based on MCDM Methodology in Southern and Eastern Region in Serbia

Abstract

Location selection for the logistics distribution center is often one of the most critical elements in a supply chain’s management success. Decision making in location selection domain is a complex process due to the fact that a wide range of diverse criteria, stakeholders and possible solutions are embedded into this process. This paper focuses on the application of some multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches for the logistics distribution fruit center location selection in the Southern and Eastern Serbia region. An Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and a Weighted Aggregated Sum-Product Assessment (WASPAS) have been implemented in this process for evaluation and location selection.
