Abstract:

The textile and clothing sectors can be seen as a supply chain consisting of a number of discrete activities. The supply chain from sourcing raw materials to distribution and marketing must be well organized as an integrated production network.. Logistics is a very important strategy to gain competitive advantages like time, cost and customer satisfaction. In this study, the establishment of a clothing logistics center for the Turkish Clothing Industry in the Marmara Region of Turkey was evaluated by clothing and logistics sector experts. A numerical study with a questionnaire survey database aimed at the clothing industry of Turkey was conducted and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to evaluate the questionaire results.
