PurposeA poor performance of the cold supply chain (CSC) may increase the loss of quality and potency of perishables and temperature-sensitive products that deteriorate the financial and environmental aspects of the same. The purpose of the current research work is to identify the critical performance factors (criteria) and their co-factors (sub-criteria) that are responsible for the performance measurement of CSC and suggest the best possible solutions (alternatives) to improve the same.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the objective of the research, a hierarchical model has been developed and analyzed using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)-Fuzzy TOPSIS as a hybrid approach to obtain the severity weights of the identified criteria and prioritization toward their relative importance for the best possible alternatives.FindingsAnalysis reveals that the criteria “energy consumption” comes out to be the most critical criteria, and alternative “application of passive cold devices” is the most effective solution for improving the performance of CSC. Higher energy consumption leads to a higher rate of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increasing the global warming phenomenon, high operational cost and degradation of natural energy resources. The Application of Passive Cold Devices (PCDs) utilizes solar energy to operate the refrigeration units reducing the energy consumption, environmental and operating cost of CSC.Research limitations/implicationsThe research work provides several insights into the critical issues related to the CSC and suggests significant findings that enable the management and decision-makers to adopt these practices for performance evaluation and improvement of the same. The key findings of the work, such as “application of passive cold devices” and “application of IoT in cold chain logistics”, facilitate an improved platform to improve the CSC performance and proposed several directions that will enhance the merit of future research.Originality/valueThe presented study consolidates the various perspectives associated with CSC performance, explores the most critical criteria and proposes the best suitable cold chain practices for organizational growth. The work also provides an analytical analysis with the essence of practicalities and sensitivity analysis to support the robustness of the results. By enriching the literature and quantitative analysis of the new proposed model, this paper forms vast managerial and research implications in the field of CSC.

“…There is currently a consensus that the business site selection problem is a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making problem (MCDM). Many examples can be found that use this approach to tackle the problem: the selection of a shopping center in Turkey [38], the selection of warehouses for agricultural products [39], the location of gas stations [19,40], the opening of a new supermarket in Spain [41], the selection of Surface Water Treatment [42] or solar energy plants [43], among many others.…”

“…This behavior is not surprising since the number of aspects to be considered is large, and, in some cases, difficult to compare or quantify. This has led to an increasing use of multi-criteria decision methods as selection mechanisms, for example, the hierarchical analytical process [18,19].…”

The problem of location is the cornerstone of strategic decisions in retail management. This decision is usually complex and multidimensional. One of the most relevant success factors is an adequate balanced tenancy, i.e., a complementary ecosystem of retail stores in the surroundings, both in planned and unplanned areas. In this paper, we use network theory to analyze the commercial spatial interactions in all the cities of Castile and Leon (an autonomous community in north-western Spain), Madrid, and Barcelona. Our approach encompasses different proposals both for the definition of the interaction networks and for their subsequent analyses. These methodologies can be used as pre-processing tools to capture features that formalize the relational dimension for location recommendation systems. Our results unveil the retail structure of different urban areas and enable a meaningful comparison between cities and methodologies. In addition, by means of consensus techniques, we identify a robust core of commercial relationships, independent of the particularities of each city, and thus help to distinguish transferable knowledge between cities. The results also suggest greater specialization of commercial space with city size.

“…TOPSIS yöntemi ilk olarak 1981'de Hwang ve Yoon tarafından ortaya atılmıştır [29]. Yöntem, ÇKKV yöntemleri arasında en yaygın yöntemlerden biri olup, güncel çalışmalarda da kullanılmaktadır [30][31][32][33][34][35]. Bu yöntemin amacı, karar verilen problemler için her bir alternatifin pozitif ideal çözümü ile negatif ideal çözüm arasındaki mesafeyi hesaplayarak alternatifleri sıralamak ve böylece optimum alternatifi belirlemektir [36].…”

ÖzÖğrenci sağlık merkezi için yer seçimi, özellikle son yıllarda dikkate alınması gereken önemli konulardan biridir. Artan öğrenci yoğunluğu ve genişleyen kampüsler olası bir acil durumda ilk yardımın yapılabilmesi açısından bu ihtiyacının ne kadar önemli olduğunu göstermektedir. Kampüs merkezinden ve öğrenci yoğunluğunun olduğu yerlerden uzak noktalara yapılacak bir öğrenci sağlık merkezi, acil müdahale gerektiren durumlarda müdahalenin yapılamaması sebep olabilmektedir. Bu durum ister istemez beraberinde birçok problemi getirebilmektedir. Bu problemden hareketle bu çalışmada öğrenci sağlık merkezi yer seçimi için bir gerçek hayat uygulaması yapılmıştır. Yapılan bu uygulamada öncelikle öğrencilerin bulunduğu kampüs noktalara ayrılmıştır. Sonrasında bu noktalar gruplandırılarak öğrenci sağlık merkezi için alternatif yerler ağırlık merkezi yöntemine göre belirlenmiştir. Belirlenen alternatifler ve öğrenci sağlık merkezi kriterleri TOPSIS yöntemi kullanılarak çözülmüştür. Çalışma sonucunda kriterleri tatmin eden en uygun alternatif nokta seçilmiştir.
