A new multi-actor multi-attribute decision-making method to select the distribution centers' location
Résumé
The location selection of distribution centers is one of important strategies to optimize the logistics system. To solve this problem, this paper presents a new multi-actor multi-attribute decision-making method based on ELECTRE I. The proposed method helps decision-makers to select a preferred location from a given set of locations for implementing. The strength of the proposed method is to incorporate the preferences of a set of decision-makers into account, notably the role of their experience into the decision-making process, consider both quantitative and qualitative criteria, take into account both desirable directions (Min and Max) and validate the selected location by both tests of concordance and discordance simultaneously. A case study is provided to illustrate the proposed method.
