Abstract

Today, SMEs in Turkey's economy
has an undeniable importance. SMEs be sustainable and to increas etheir share in
manufacturing is a critical point in the economy of Turkey and many other
countries. Sustainability is a long-term objective to improve the overall,
social, economic and environmental performance of a company's operations. The
purpose of this study is to determine under the which criteria SMEs who are
expecting financial support should be supported. To do this, first of all, the
criteria that affected them were researched to be economically sustainable of
SMEs in Turkey. After, by considering these criteria, it was aimed to decide on
the amount of support that should be given to SMEs. In the solution phase, MATLAB
program was used to determine the appropriate amount of support using the Fuzzy
Logic method.

KOBİ SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİĞİNE GÖRE BULANIK MANTIK YÖNTEMİ İLE DESTEK ATAMASININ GERÇEKLEŞTİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Günümüzde Türkiye
ekonomisinde KOBİ’lerin yadsınamaz bir önemi vardır. KOBİ’lerin sürdürülebilir
olmaları ve üretimdeki paylarını büyütebilmeleri Türkiye ve diğer pek çok
ülkenin ekonomisinde kritik bir noktadır. Sürdürülebilirlik, bir şirketin
faaliyetlerinin genel, sosyal, ekonomik ve çevresel performansını artırmak için
uzun vadeli bir hedeftir. Bu çalışmanın amacı da maddi destek bekleyen
KOBİ’lerin hangi kriterler altında, hangi tutarlarda desteklenmeleri
gerektiğini belirlemektir. Bunun için öncelikle, Türkiye’deki KOBİ’lerin
ekonomik olarak hayatlarını ikame ettirebilmeleri ve sürdürülebilir
olabilmeleri için onları etkileyen kriterler araştırılmış sonrasında da bu
kriterler dikkate alınarak KOBİ’lere verilmesi gereken destek miktarına karar
verilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Çözüm aşamasında MATLAB programı kullanılarak Bulanık
Mantık yöntemi ile uygun destek miktarları belirlenmişti.
