Abstract

With the advancement of technology, the automation process is rapidly progressing in all sectors; however, the construction industry still maintains its human-centered traditional work approach. Due to the presence of various high-volume activities on construction sites, the use of heavy machinery becomes essential to achieve time and cost savings. In this study, seven evaluation criteria that stand out in the literature for the selection of construction equipment were determined. Based on these criteria, the decision-making problem of selecting one of four construction machines was solved using the Analytic Hierarchy Process method. Consistency analyses were conducted for the comparison matrices that form the structure of AHP. As a result of the analysis, the most suitable construction machine among the four alternatives was identified.

Özet

Gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte otomasyon süreci tüm sektörlerde hızla ilerlese de inşaat sektörü insan odaklı geleneksel çalışmayı halen sürdürmektedir. Şantiyelerde birbirinden farklı ve yüksek metrajlı aktivitelerin olmasından dolayı, süre ve maliyetten kazanım sağlama amacıyla iş makinelerinin kullanımını zorunlu kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada iş makinalarının seçiminde literatürde ön plana çıkan 7 değerlendirme kriteri belirlenmiş, bu kriterlere göre 4 iş makinesinden birinin seçilmesine ilişkin karar alma probleminin analitik hiyerarşi prosesi (AHP)yöntemi ile çözümlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. AHP’nin yapısını oluşturan karşılaştırma matrislerine ilişkin tutarlılık analizleri yapılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda 4 iş makinesi alternatifi arasından en uygunu belirlenmiştir.
