Özet:

 With the growing adoption of sustainable products, the process of choosing suppliers becomes increasingly crucial for businesses. These products reduce the waste of natural resources and cause less harm to the environment. With the use of masks and increasing environmental awareness, people have begun to consider environmental factors when choosing masks and many other products. As a result, studies that consider environmental factors instead of the traditional supplier selection procedure are attracting more and more attention in the literature. The aim of this study is to select a mask supplier for a business that sells environmentally friendly products with Multi-Criteria Decision Making MCDM methods. In this direction, it is aimed to reach the most suitable solution for selection by using the Entropy-based TOPSIS method, one of the MCDM methods. Based on the literature, 4 criteria and 6 alternative suppliers taking into account these criteria were determined to make the selection. First of all, the criteria handled by the Entropy method were weighted, and then a ranking was made among the mask suppliers using the TOPSIS method. The findings of the study show that the most important criterion among the discussed criteria is Reusability K1. After the ranking, it was concluded that the most suitable mask supplier among the alternatives was Supplier 2 T2. Evaluating these criteria in the mask supplier selection process helps businesses create a safer, more efficient and sustainable supply chain. Making more conscious and correct decisions in the selection process also contributes to increasing customer satisfaction and business reputation.

 Sürdürülebilir ürünlerin kullanımı arttıkça işletmeler için tedarikçi seçimi daha önemli hale gelmektedir. Bu ürünler doğal kaynakların israfını azaltmakta ve çevreye daha az zarar vermektedir. Maske kullanımı ve çevre bilincinin artmasıyla birlikte insanlar maske ve diğer birçok ürünü seçerken çevresel faktörleri dikkate almaya başlamıştır. Bunun sonucunda geleneksel tedarikçi seçim prosedürü yerine çevresel faktörleri dikkate alan çalışmalar literatürde giderek daha çok ilgi görmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, çevre dostu ürünler satan bir işletme için Çok Kriterli Karar Verme ÇKKV yöntemleri ile bir maske tedarikçisi seçmektir. Bu doğrultuda ÇKKV yöntemlerinden Entropi tabanlı TOPSIS yöntemi kullanılarak seçim için en uygun çözüme ulaşmak hedeflenmiştir. Seçim yapmak üzere literatürden yola çıkılarak 4 kriter ve bu kriterleri dikkate alan 6 alternatif tedarikçi belirlenmiştir. Öncelikle Entropi yöntemi ile ele alınan kriterler ağırlıklandırılmış daha sonrasında TOPSIS yöntemi kullanılarak maske tedarikçileri arasında sıralama yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın bulguları, ele alınan kriterler arasında en önemli kriterin Yeniden Kullanılabilirlik K1 olduğunu göstermektedir. Sıralama sonrası alternatifler arasında en uygun maske tedarikçisinin ise Tedarikçi 2 T2 olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Maske tedarikçisi seçim sürecinde bu kriterlerin değerlendirilmesi, işletmelerin daha güvenli, daha verimli ve sürdürülebilir bir tedarik zinciri oluşturmasına yardımcı olmaktadır. Seçim sürecinde daha bilinçli ve doğru kararlar alınması müşteri memnuniyetinin ve işletme itibarının artmasına da katkı sağlamaktadır.
