TEDARİKÇİ ÇEVİKLİĞİNİN ÖLÇÜLMESİNE YÖNELİK BİR YAKLAŞIM ÖNERİSİ: OTOMOTİV SEKTÖRÜ UYGULAMASI

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, tedarikçi çevikliğinin ölçülmesine yönelik Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi’ne dayalı bir yaklaşım geliştirmektir. İşletmelerin bu yaklaşımı kullanarak tedarikçi çevikliğini ölçebilmesi ve geliştirebilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Yöntem: Araştırmanın uygulaması otomotiv sektöründe yapılmış olup, bir otomobil üreticisinin tedarikçileri hız, esneklik, bilişim teknolojileri entegrasyonu ve işbirliği yeteneği temelinde oluşturulan çeviklik yaklaşımına göre değerlendirilmiştir. Önerilen yaklaşım Analitik Hiyerarşi prosesi ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: İşletmelerin pazardaki beklenmedik ve ani durumlara karşı cevap verebilirlik yeteneği literatürde çeviklik olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Bir işletmenin tedarikçilerinin çevik yapıda olması, işletmenin karşılaşacağı ani ve beklenmedik durumlara tepki vermesini kolaylaştıracaktır. Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonucunda, Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi’nin tedarikçi çevikliği ölçümünde başarıyla kullanılabileceğini göstermiştir. Oluşturulan yaklaşımla, bir otomobil üreticisinin tedarikçi performansı değerlendirilmiş ve tedarikçilere yönelik muhtemel iyileştirme önerileri sunulmuştur.

Proposal of a New Approach for Measuring Supplier Agility: An Application in Automotive Industry

Aim: The ability of businesses to respond to unexpected and sudden changes in markets is referred agility. The agility of suppliers will make it easier for businesses to respond to sudden and unexpected situations. The aim of this research is proposing a new approach for measuring the supplier agility using Analytic Hierarchy Process. It is intended that this approach will be used to measure and improve supplier agility. Method: A comprehensive literature search has been conducted to identify the criteria that determine the supplier agility. Criteria determined in the literature have been revised according to opinion of an expert. The degree of importance of each criterion has been determined by expert opinions. Analytic Hierarchy Process was used in the process of weighting the criteria.Findings: The Analytical Hierarchy Process can be used as an alternative method of measuring supplier agility. It has also been determined that the most important determiner of supplier agility is the collaboration capability. Other factors affecting supplier agility are supplier's speed, flexibility and information technologies. Results: The proposed approach is applied to automotive industry and the suppliers of an automobile manufacturer were evaluated according to the agility approach built on the basis of speed, flexibility, information technology integration and collaboration capability. Hence, supplier performance was measured and possible improvement recommendations were presented.
