Abstract

The main objective of
this study is to determine the applicability of DEMATEL technique, a recent
method to attain optimization of supplier’s selection methods in the food and
beverages industry growing continuously both quantitatively and qualitatively. By
modelling what kind of application process is followed in order to determine
the applicability of DEMATEL technique to food and beverages enterprises within
the scope of the research, it can be expressed as the application of the model
and providing resource utilization efficiency in selection of the suppliers for
the food and beverages enterprises. The field study was carried out regarding
applicability of DEMATEL method, which has been applied at enterprises engaging
in industrial production for a long time, for supplier selection in food and
beverages enterprises as an optimization model/technique.

 

The field study was conducted
through a survey of quantitative data collection method  and applied to 416 enterprises located
in  various provinces such as Adana,
Afyonkarahisar, Ankara, Antalya, Aydın, Balıkesir, Bolu, Bursa, Çanakkale,
Denizli, Diyarbakır, Edirne, Erzurum, Eskişehir, Gaziantep, Hatay, İzmir,
İstanbul, Kahramanmaraş, Kayseri, Kocaeli, Konya, Kütahya, Manisa, Mersin,
Mardin, Muğla, Nevşehir, Ordu, Sakarya, Samsun, Sivas, Şanlıurfa, Tekirdağ,
Trabzon, Van where high quality food and beverages enterprises of Turkey are
found heavily. As a result of the research, it has been concluded that DEMATEL
method can be applied effectively in food and beverages enterprises and food
and beverages enterprises can reach the optimization level in line with the
selection of the right suppliers by the application of DEMATEL method.
