Sustainable Warehousing: Selecting The Best Warehouse for Solar Transformation

Öz:
Environmental sustainability has been gaining importance not only in manufacturing but also in logistics and supply chain.Logistics sector has a significant responsibility in global energy consumption. The effect of warehouse on carbon emissiondemonstrates its importance of warehousing regarding sustainability. One way of developing sustainable warehouses is usingrenewable energy sources. In a solar warehouse; which is a new example of sustainable warehousing, roof of the warehouse iscovered with solar panels so, both energy costs and carbon emission are reduced. Warehouses have been turning into solarwarehouse in recent years. While there is a substantial literature regarding sustainable supply chain, literature regardingsustainable warehousing is limited. In order to contribute this gap in the literature the problem conducted here is selecting thebest warehouse to be turned into a solar warehouse. In other words, the aim of the research is ranking the alternative warehousesaccording to solar facility location criteria in order to find best alternative. In this context first the alternative warehouses thatcan be turned into solar warehouse are determined then, the criteria which will be used in evaluation process is obtained fromprevious research. TOPSIS method is used to rank the alternative warehouses. The evaluation of alternatives according to solarfacility location criteria is obtained from expert opinions and secondary data. The ranking obtained with TOPSIS method iscompared with another ranking based on payback period of investment. The differences observed between two rankings isdiscussed and compared.
