Egitim, ulkenin refah seviyesinin artirilmasinda ve kalkinmasinda en onemli unsurlardan biridir. Gelisen teknoloji, hizla artan ve yayilan bilgi, sosyal, kulturel ve ekonomik alanlarda meydana gelen degismeler egitimin onemini daha da artirmaktadir. Egitimin bireyde meydana getirdigi degisim dolayisiyla sosyal hayata ve ulke ekonomisine de yansimaktadir. Devletin sosyal gorevleri arasinda yer alan egitim hizmetlerinin, topluma guclu ve dengeli bir sekilde sunulmasi gerekmektedir. Bu calismada, Bulanik Flowsort yontemiyle Turkiye’de illerin aldiklari egitim hizmetlerine gore siniflandirilmasi amaclanmistir. Cok Kriterli Karar Destekli Siniflandirma yontemlerinden biri olan Flowsort yonteminde bulanik sayilar kullanilarak daha esnek bir model olusturulmustur. Uygulama oncesinde egitim hizmetlerinin gostergesi olabilecek kriterler arastirilmis; her bir il icin orgun egitimdeki okul, sube, ogretmen ve derslik basina dusen ogrenci sayisi ve ogrenci basina dusen egitim harcamasi kriterlerine ulasilmistir. Bu kriterler dikkate alinarak iller en iyiden en kotuye dogru olmak uzere siniflandirilmistir. Farkliliklari daha net bir sekilde gozlemleyebilmek icin elde edilen siniflar, Turkiye haritasi uzerinde renklendirilmistir. Turkiye’deki illerin buyuk cogunlugunun vasat sinifta yer aldigi gorulurken, Istanbul, Adana ve Gaziantep’in egitim hizmetinde arzulanan standartlarin altinda oldugu gozlemlenmistir. Calisma neticesinde iller arasindaki farklilasmalar analiz edilmis ve sonuclar yorumlanmistir. Bu calisma egitim yatirimlari ve tesvikleri noktasinda karar vericiler icin onemli bilgiler arz etmektedir.

In the digital age, banks adopt energy-efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly methods. Such organizations with hundreds of branches and thousands of employees not only provide considerable energy efficiency opportunities but also offer significant possibilities with climate change-related investments. In order to manage, control, and mitigate electricity consumption, in-depth knowledge is required, since the banking operations heavily depend on electricity. It is a challenging but necessary step to calculate the electricity consumption of a sizeable banking organization consisting of different units, varying dimensions, and characteristics. The aim of this study is to develop a model for estimating the electricity consumption of the banks based on a few main research questions. A novel model is proposed to calculate the annual electricity consumption of banking organizations to contribute to the sustainability literature and best practice area on efficient use of natural resources. The model was developed using the field data from a major Turkish bank. In the model, nominal bank electricity consumption is proposed from a base month concept, representing the month with no heating and cooling. The breakdown of electricity consumption sources can easily be monitored for energy management by using the model. For the validation of the model, the total electricity consumption of five Turkish banks is calculated. The model results are in good agreement with the respective sustainability reports within 12% certainty. The validity and accuracy of the model are also tested for a Spanish bank that operates in ten countries and is one of the few bank conglomerates with an annual electricity consumption figure given in sustainability reports. The annual electricity consumption was estimated within 6.6% certainty. Thus, the annual electricity consumption of a bank can be estimated within an acceptable range using the number of branches, employees, and ATMs, supported by some reasonable assumptions.

Identification of risks is the first step to build a resilient and sustainable supply chain and develop proactive risk management strategies. Supply chains contain numerous risks with different forms, probabilities and impacts. Supply chain risks have a multi-dimensional nature and can result from a wide variety of sources including demand and supply variability, poor performing suppliers, price fluctuations, dynamic consumer markets, global economic uncertainty, and even unexpected events such as work accidents, cyber-attacks and natural disasters. Supply chain risks may cause business interruptions, financial losses, a negative corporate image and, damages to human health and safety. The purpose of this paper is to present a literature review on the risks and their sources in supply chains and develop a new categorization for supply chain risks. The proposed categorization provides a starting point for risk management and may assist practitioners in identifying risks.

Sustainable Supply Chain Management has become one of the most important managerial trends nowadays. Companies can optimize their supply chains by integrating risk management and sustainability programs. This chapter explains sustainability and risk management concepts in supply chains and discusses the relationship between these two issues in a multidirectional way. Business Intelligence tools are addressed in terms of their role and importance in supporting the management of supply chains, their risks and sustainability. The aim of the chapter is to provide a background to better understand the link between supply chain risk management, sustainability and business intelligence.

The suppliers, which are one of the most important actors in the supply chain, have a significant effect on the performances of their customer firms. Hence, supplier performance evaluation has become a competitive tool in today's goods and service producing industries. This paper presents a supplier performance evaluation process developed using the Six Sigma Define – Measure – Analyse – Improve – Control (DMAIC) methodology. The proposed process has been applied in a central services company, where the suppliers had never been evaluated before. To this end, first of all, the evaluation criteria have been defined through brainstorming and meetings within the company, then weighted with Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), and categorized according to Kano's Model. Afterwards, suppliers have been scored and classified based on a proposed methodology using a modified version of Kano's model, and thus, the proposed process has proven to be useful in real life industrial appl...

Tüm dünya, 31.12.2019’da Çin’de ilk vakanın tespiti ile başlayan Covid-19 pandemisi ile mücadele içindedir. Pandemi Ocak 2021 tarihine kadar 85 milyon üzerinde onaylanan vakaya ve 1,8 milyonun üzerinde ölüme neden olmuştur. Çalışmanın araştırma sorusu şöyledir: “Ülkelerin ekonomik, sosyal ve çevresel refahını (sağlık performansı ve sağlık güvenliği de dahil olmak üzere) ölçümleyen küresel endekslerdeki puan ve konumları, pandemide karşılaştıkları sonuçlar için bir açıklama veya tahmin sağlayabilir mi?” Bir diğer deyişle ülkeler, sağlık alt yapısı açısından belli bir donanımda ise bir pandemiye hazırlıklı mıdır? Bu soruya dayanan amaç doğrultusunda, ülkelerin sağlık alanında potansiyel gücünü, performanslarını ve toplumsal sağlık refahını ölçümleyen ve kıyaslamalı olarak sıralayan iki temel küresel endeks kapsama alınmıştır: Küresel Sağlık Güvenlik (KSG) Endeksi ve Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Amaçları (SKA) Endeksi. Bu küresel endekslerin, pandeminin etkisini tahminleme için uygun ve yet...

Sustainability has become one of the important concepts of countries due to global warming and climate change. In order to assess the sustainability and environmental performance of countries foundations publish sustainability focused indexes which help researchers and governments to position countries according to related indicators. At the same time, there are some variables which provide environmental and economic information; measured per country. The aim of this study is to investigate the relation between six selected sustainability focused indexes (CCPI, EPI, ETI, SSI-HW, SSI-EW, and SSI-ECW) and selected variables namely, REC, CO2, and GDP. In this study, Spearman’s rank correlation is used to identify the strength of an association between sustainability focused indexes and selected variables for 25 countries. It is seen that to REC has a monotonic correlation with ETI and EPI; CO2 emissions has negative correlations with CCPI and SSI-EW as expected; and GDP has positive co...
