Abstract :

The aim of this study was to investigate the ranking of effective factors on how to implement timely management of goods and equipment and its evaluation criteria in the power distribution company of the whole country using Analytic Hierarchy (AHP). Five dimensions (production technical factors, managerial level management factors, factors related to IT processes and infrastructure, factors related to processes and factors related to training and manpower) were determined and the research hierarchical tree was drawn. Based on the opinions of experts in this tree, five Next, on how to implement timely management of goods and equipment in time and its criteria interact with each other. To determine their weight, the combined approach of fuzzy AHP and fuzzy DEMATEL was used. The influential and expressive dimensions of each other are the cause, and the dimensions of the factors related to IT processes and infrastructures are part of the influential or expressive dimensions of other effects.
