PG - 4754 LID - 10.1038/s41598-023-31561-4 [doi] LID - 4754 AB - In this study, a novel integrated method including CRITIC (Criteria Importance Through Inter-Criteria Correlation) and ORESTE (Organisation, Rangement Et Synth&e De DonnCes Relarionnelles) methods from MCDM (multi-criteria decision making) methods and aiming to solve the problem of inconsistency in the ORESTE method has been proposed. Since the ORESTE method only considers the ordering of alternatives and criteria, a conflict may occur due to the different ordering of each alternative in the criteria. To solve the conflict problem in the second step of the ORESTE method, it is proposed to create the preference density matrix of the alternatives by using the CRITIC weights of the criteria, and to calculate the net flow values with reference to the PROMETHEE II (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Encrichment Evaluations II) method (C-ORESTE III). The CRITIC method is used because the relationship between the criteria is as important as the alternatives in calculating the normalized preference intensities. To test the validity and applicability of the proposed method, an application is made to the logistics center location problem within the scope of green logistics. CI - (c) 2023. The Author(s).
