Today companies continue to examine their costs in business life where competition is hard. In this sense, warehouse site selection, which is significantin terms of logistics costs, becomes a critical process. Warehouse site selection decision making model proposed in this study is developed for contributing the efffiency of distribution network and minimizing logistics costs. In this study, to solve warehouse site selection problem 3 different methods are synthesised, which are Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Vise Kriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) and with Multi- Objective Optimization by Ratio Analysis (MOORA). AHP method is used for determining the criteria of alternatives and VIKOR and MOORA methods are used for ranking of alternatives.Using real data instead of classical pairwise comparison scales for AHP and VIKOR applications and the use of MOORA method in warehouse site selection problem have been important for considering a new approach and solution method in this field. The application is carried out for the decision problem of determining 3 best alternatives of a casting factory among 11 alternatives. In the study, comparisons are conducted for results of both of the methods and final decision is made according to application results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
