Compared with the US-based Warehousing Education Research Council's reports published in 2018 and 2019 this paper presents that on-time shipments is the most critical performance measure in Turkey in both 2018 and 2019 while order picking accuracy is in the US. This study also presented that mobile technologies are considered as the most influential digital-era technology in terms of supporting ongoing improvements in warehousing operations and providing a competitive advantage to the companies in both Turkey and the US. Moreover some digital-era technologies such as driverless vehicles or drones 3D printing and simulation are considered the least supportive or competitive technologies according to the professionals in Turkey.

Sustainable Frozen Food Facility Location Selection under Pandemic Era
(CentMa GmbH, 2022) Yeliz Demirkiran; Ömer Öztürkoǧlu; Yucel Yilmaz Ozturkoglu; Demirkiran, Yeliz; Ozturkoglu, Yucel; Ozturkoglu, Omer
Consumption of frozen food has increased significantly in many countries experiencing total closure due to epidemics. In order to meet this increase in demand companies apply different strategies in both production and logistics processes. In particular warehouse locations need to be closer to consumers so as not to disrupt the increasing demand and the cold chain. Considering the sustainable position in the frozen food industry it is essential to focus on both commercial and economic impacts. However especially the environmental and sustainable criteria have always been neglected in terms of planning the country and the city. Therefore this study has three main research questions, (1) identify key criteria for sustainability-focused frozen food facility location (2) understand the relationship between these criteria and (3) develop a hierarchical sustainable location roadmap for pra ctitioners. Initially a literature review was conducted to find the answers to these questions and reveal suitable criteria. Secondly PROMETHEE was used to determine the relative importance of the data-driven performance of the main and sub-criteria. Therefore this study gives the reader a comprehensive insight into how sustainable data-driven performance criteria are applied in frozen food storage facility locations. Finally the proposed model used real-life data to select a developing country's sustainable frozen food storage location. © 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
