“…Just slightly under a third of companies (28%) saw an improvement of 10%, and 13% of companies saw a gain of 20% in communication with CLs through introducing a higher level of digitization. The results are consistent with the study of Toygar et al [48], who point to the need for faster adaptation of CL's digital communications. While the latter introduce changes, the pandemic has highlighted the need for the faster digitization of operations along logistics chains.…”

This study addresses the highly topical issue of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on port logistics. The impacts are reflected in all three pillars of sustainable operations and development that port logistics should pursue. The economic impact is strong and is reflected in the extremely high transport prices, the accessibility of transport, the lengthening of the supply chain, and the reduced liquidity of companies. The social aspect is very important regarding working conditions and workers’ roles in ports and logistics service providers (LSPs). The dynamic changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic also have an impact on the environmental aspect. As supply chains are vulnerable, more attention is paid to the components of time, price, and reliability than greener transportation. This study highlights changes in port logistics due to the COVID-19 pandemic in logistics companies in the northern Adriatic region and covers a specific gap in the understanding of the sustainable adaptations of LSPs in their operations within port logistics. The results enrich the scientific field regarding LSPs to work processes, the digitalization of business processes, and the organization of logistics chains. The results can be used to develop new sustainable business models for port logistics and port governance, as some researchers have already called for because port logistics too often pursue the economic goals of the fastest and cheapest logistics process. At the same time, social and environmental aspects are somewhat neglected. The changes are particularly pronounced in critical situations, such as those typical of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was conducted as part of the project about green port development with external research funding.

“…Fuzzy logic prevents sharp and subjective decisions that were given into the decision-making process (Demirel et al, 2018). There are many different multicriteria decision-making applications in the maritime business literature (Lirn et al, 2004;Çelik and Aky€ uz, 2018;Tseng and Cullinane, 2018;Mollaoglu et al, 2019;Balcı, 2021;Soner et al, 2021;Bas ¸tu g et al, 2022;Toygar et al, 2022;Yucesan et al, 2022). The first example for the fuzzy logic was given by Zadeh (1996).…”

PurposeConsidering the human factor, the quality of the personnel is vital to ensure especially the value creation in the ports. Therefore, employee quality stands out for withstanding the pressures that stem from global trade on its operational speed felt by ports in recent years. Accordingly, the selection of the qualified personnel at the ports is very critical and a tool based on dynamic capabilities is needed to manage this process well. The aim of this study is to develop a model based on dynamic capabilities for recruitment process of ports.Design/methodology/approachPort personnel should have dynamic capabilities detected from the literature. These capabilities were approached as criteria. In this study, Buckley's proposed fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method was employed for weighting the whole criteria. After that, weights of the criteria were used to prioritize alternatives with the fuzzy TOPSIS method.FindingsThis model reflects port managers' priorities and port customers' evaluations. Thus, the model can also reflect the level of integration of ports' related department managers into the recruitment process. The analyses allow us to evaluate the attitudes of the human resources department in the related port while fulfilling the personnel recruitment function. As a result of analyses, differences between perceptions of port managers and customers served as a feedback to the human resource management department of the ports.Originality/valueOne of the originalities of this study was derived from its customer-oriented perspective. This is a unique study that gathers common personnel capabilities related to the operation, planning and customer relationship departments and evaluates the success of these capabilities from the customer perspective.

“…The fuzzy-based SWARA method was developed by Mavi et al (2017). The SWARA method is preferred in various studies in the literature (Alimardani et al, 2013;Heidary Dahooie et al, 2018;Ijadi Maghsoodi et al 2019;Toygar et al, 2022). The weighting of the criteria with the F-SWARA method is completed in six steps (Mavi et al, 2017;Zarbakhshnia et al, 2018;Ansari et al, 2020;Mishra et al, 2020).…”

Supply chain management covers the management of all processes, from determining the material needs of manufacturing companies to delivering value-added products to customers. Theoretical approaches and practical applications for supply chain management processes are presented in the literature. However, there is no project-based supply chain manager selection for the improvement of supply chain processes yet. In this research, the supply chain project manager selection problem is discussed. In this context, multi criteria decision making techniques used for project manager selection problem applications were used. According to the literature review and interviews with the manufacturing executive jury, seven criteria were determined. The criterion weights were determined by the fuzzy the stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis (F-SWARA) method. The grey operational competitiveness rating method (OCRA-G) method was applied to select the most suitable candidate among the four candidates. According to the research findings, the experience criterion was determined as the most important criterion in the selection of the supply chain project manager. The second candidate was found to be the most suitable candidate. In this research, an alternative hybrid model method for the project selection problem has been presented to the literature by using fuzzy and gray based approaches in a hybrid way. In addition, suggestions have been developed for manufacturing companies, supply chain project manager candidates and researchers.
