Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to determine the advantages offered by the use of digital twins in supply chain management and to systematically classify these advantages within the framework of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The obtained KPIs will be analyzed using multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods which is BWM method and the contributions of digital twin technology to supply chain performance will be ranked according to their importance. The gains provided by digital twin applications in multi-dimensional performance areas such as energy efficiency, carbon emission reduction, shortening delivery times, resource utilization optimization and reducing operational costs constitute the basic analysis framework of the study. This analysis will reveal which performance indicators digital twin technology has the greatest impact on in supply chains and will provide decision support to managers so that they can direct their technology investments more consciously. As a result, this study aims to contribute to the holistic evaluation of the advantages offered by digital twin technology in supply chains and to propose an original method to the literature with an analysis model based on MCDM.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, tedarik zinciri yönetiminde dijital ikiz kullanımının sunduğu avantajları belirlemek ve bu avantajları Temel Performans Göstergeleri (KPI) çerçevesinde sistematik olarak sınıflandırmaktır. Elde edilen KPI’lar, Çok Kriterli Karar Verme (ÇKKV) Yöntemlerinden biri olan BWM (Best-Worst Method) yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilecek ve dijital ikiz teknolojisinin tedarik zinciri performansına katkıları önem derecelerine göre sıralanacaktır. Dijital ikiz uygulamalarının enerji verimliliği, karbon emisyonlarının azaltılması, teslimat sürelerinin kısaltılması, kaynak kullanım optimizasyonu ve operasyonel maliyetlerin düşürülmesi gibi çok boyutlu performans alanlarında sağladığı kazanımlar, çalışmanın temel analiz çerçevesini oluşturmaktadır. Bu analiz sayesinde, tedarik zincirlerinde dijital ikiz teknolojisinin hangi performans göstergeleri üzerinde en büyük etkiyi yarattığı ortaya konulacak ve yöneticilere teknoloji yatırımlarını daha bilinçli yönlendirebilmeleri için karar desteği sunulacaktır. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma tedarik zincirlerinde dijital ikiz teknolojisinin sunduğu avantajların bütüncül bir şekilde değerlendirilmesine katkı sağlamayı ve ÇKKV temelli bir analiz modeli ile literatüre özgün bir yöntem önerisi getirmeyi hedeflemektedir.
