To create an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) model for the selection of the most suitable location for a car factory in Turkey and perform a benefit/cost analysis, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Define the Hierarchy

1. Goal: Select the most suitable location for a car factory in Turkey.

2. Criteria Levels:

   • Level 1: Location Selection
     • Level 2: A, Production Efficiency
       • Level 3: A1, Labor Availability
       • Level 3: A2, Infrastructure
       • Level 3: A3, Technology
     • Level 2: B, Product Quality
       • Level 3: B1, Manufacturing Standards
       • Level 3: B2, Product Inspection
       • Level 3: B3, Quality Control Processes
     • Level 2: C, Sustainability and Environmental Impact
       • Level 3: C1, Environmental Regulations Compliance
       • Level 3: C2, Eco-Friendly Practices
       • Level 3: C3, Energy Efficiency
     • Level 2: D, Cost Effectiveness
       • Level 3: D1, Initial Investment
       • Level 3: D2, Operational Costs
       • Level 3: D3, Return on Investment

Step 2: Pairwise Comparisons

1. Create a matrix for each level of criteria and sub-criteria and perform pairwise comparisons. Use a scale from 1 to 9, where 1 represents equal importance and 9 represents extremely more important.

Step 3: Calculate Weighted Sum

1. Normalize the pairwise comparison matrices to obtain the corresponding weight vectors for each criterion and sub-criterion.
2. Calculate the weighted sum for each alternative at the lowest level of the hierarchy (e.g., each location under A, B, C, and D).

Step 4: Synthesize Results

1. Aggregate the results from the lower levels to obtain the overall scores for each location.
2. Select the location with the highest overall score as the most suitable for the car factory.

Step 5: Benefit/Cost Analysis

1. Evaluate the benefits and costs associated with each location. This may include factors such as initial investment, operational costs, projected sales, and return on investment.
2. Calculate the benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR) for each location.
3. Consider other financial metrics, such as net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR).

Step 6: Decision Making

1. Consider both the AHP results and the benefit/cost analysis to make a final decision on the most suitable location for the car factory.

Notes:

• Be sure to involve relevant stakeholders in the pairwise comparison process to gather input on the importance of criteria.
• Use specialized software or AHP tools to perform the calculations efficiently.
• Keep in mind that the AHP model is subjective, and results may vary based on input and assumptions.

This general framework can be adapted to your specific context and data availability. Adjust the criteria and sub-criteria as needed based on the unique considerations for the car factory project in Turkey.

Certainly! Let's create the pairwise comparison tables for each upper-level criterion and then for each sub-criterion. I'll provide random values for illustration purposes. Remember to replace these values with actual input from stakeholders or experts in your project.

Pairwise Comparisons for Upper-Level Criteria:

Table 1: Pairwise Comparison for Location Selection Criteria

Pairwise Comparisons for Sub-Criteria:

Table 2: Pairwise Comparison for A (Production Efficiency)

Table 3: Pairwise Comparison for B (Product Quality)

Table 4: Pairwise Comparison for C (Sustainability)

Table 5: Pairwise Comparison for D (Cost Effectiveness)

These tables provide a starting point for the pairwise comparisons. Input real values, and then use a suitable tool or method to calculate the weights and overall rankings based on these comparisons.

Certainly! Now, let's continue with the pairwise comparison tables for the sub-criteria under each upper-level criterion.

Pairwise Comparisons for Sub-Criteria (continued):

Table 6: Pairwise Comparison for A1 (Labor Availability)

Table 7: Pairwise Comparison for A2 (Infrastructure)

Table 8: Pairwise Comparison for A3 (Technology)

The remaining tables (9 to 17) for the pairwise comparisons of the sub-criteria under B, C, and D follow the same structure. Replace the values in these tables with actual input based on the specific characteristics and preferences for your car factory project. Once you have completed the tables, you can proceed to calculate the weights and perform the AHP analysis to determine the most suitable location.

Certainly! Let's continue with the pairwise comparison tables for the remaining sub-criteria under upper-level criteria B, C, and D.

Pairwise Comparisons for Sub-Criteria (continued):

Table 9: Pairwise Comparison for B1 (Manufacturing Standards)

Continue with a similar structure for the remaining pairwise comparison tables (10 to 17) for sub-criteria under B, C, and D. Replace the values in these tables with actual input based on the specific characteristics and preferences for your car factory project.

Table 10: Pairwise Comparison for B2 (Product Inspection)

Table 11: Pairwise Comparison for B3 (Quality Control)

Repeat the same structure for tables 12 to 17 for sub-criteria under C and D.

Table 12: Pairwise Comparison for C1 (Environmental Regulations)

Continue the structure for tables 13 to 17 for sub-criteria under D.

Table 13: Pairwise Comparison for C2 (Eco-Friendly Practices)

Table 14: Pairwise Comparison for C3 (Energy Efficiency)

Table 15: Pairwise Comparison for D1 (Initial Investment)

Table 16: Pairwise Comparison for D2 (Operational Costs)

Table 17: Pairwise Comparison for D3 (Return on Investment)

Replace the "..." in each table with actual values based on the perceived importance of the criteria or sub-criteria. Once you've completed these tables, you can proceed to normalize them and calculate the weights for each criterion and sub-criterion.

Certainly! Here are the pairwise comparison tables with random values filled in:

Pairwise Comparisons for Sub-Criteria (continued):

Table 9: Pairwise Comparison for B1 (Manufacturing Standards)

Table 10: Pairwise Comparison for B2 (Product Inspection)

Table 11: Pairwise Comparison for B3 (Quality Control)

Now, continue the structure for the remaining pairwise comparison tables (12 to 17) for sub-criteria under C and D with similar random values. Replace the "..." with actual random values based on perceived importance.

Certainly! Let's continue with the pairwise comparison tables for sub-criteria under upper-level criteria C and D.

Pairwise Comparisons for Sub-Criteria (continued):

Table 12: Pairwise Comparison for C1 (Environmental Regulations)

Table 13: Pairwise Comparison for C2 (Eco-Friendly Practices)

Table 14: Pairwise Comparison for C3 (Energy Efficiency)

Continue with the structure for tables 15 to 17 for sub-criteria under D.

Table 15: Pairwise Comparison for D1 (Initial Investment)

Table 16: Pairwise Comparison for D2 (Operational Costs)

Table 17: Pairwise Comparison for D3 (Return on Investment)

Remember to replace these random values with actual input from stakeholders or experts. Once you have the complete set of pairwise comparison matrices, you can proceed to normalize them and calculate the weights for each criterion and sub-criterion in the AHP model.

Certainly! Consistency testing is an important step in the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to ensure that the judgments provided in the pairwise comparison matrices are reliable. The Consistency Ratio (CR) is calculated to check if the judgments are consistent.

Here, I'll perform consistency testing for two comparison tables - one for the upper-level criterion and one for a sub-criterion. Let's take the comparison tables for A (Production Efficiency) and A1 (Labor Availability).

Consistency Testing for Upper-Level Criterion A:

Pairwise Comparison Table for A (Production Efficiency):

Calculations:

1. Calculate the Weighted Sum for Each Criterion:

   • Weighted Sum for A1 = $1 \times 1 + 3 \times 1/3 + 5 \times 1/5 = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3$
   • Weighted Sum for A2 = $1/3 \times 1 + 1 \times 1 + 4 \times 1/4 = 1/3 + 1 + 1 = 4/3$
   • Weighted Sum for A3 = $1/5 \times 1 + 1/4 \times 1 + 1 \times 1 = 1/5 + 1/4 + 1 = 29/20$

2. Calculate the Eigenvalue ($\lambda_{max}$):

   • $\lambda_{max} = \frac{\text{Sum of Weighted Sums}}{\text{Number of Criteria}}$
   • $\lambda_{max} = \frac{3 + 4/3 + 29/20}{3} = \frac{111}{60}$

3. Calculate the Consistency Index (CI):

   • $\text{CI} = \frac{\lambda_{max} - \text{Number of Criteria}}{\text{Number of Criteria} - 1} = \frac{111/60 - 3}{3 - 1} = \frac{51}{60}$

4. Calculate the Random Index (RI) for a 3x3 matrix (from AHP literature or tables):

   • For a 3x3 matrix, RI = 0.58

5. Calculate the Consistency Ratio (CR):

   • $\text{CR} = \frac{\text{CI}}{\text{RI}} = \frac{51/60}{0.58}$

If the Consistency Ratio is below a certain threshold (commonly 0.1), the judgments are considered consistent.

Now, let's perform consistency testing for a sub-criterion.

Consistency Testing for Sub-Criterion A1:

Pairwise Comparison Table for A1 (Labor Availability):

Calculations:

Perform similar calculations as above for the sub-criterion A1.

If the Consistency Ratio is below the threshold, the judgments for A1 are considered consistent.

Please note that this is a simplified example, and real-world consistency testing would involve more matrices and may require more sophisticated tools or software for larger and more complex decision-making models.

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Let's go through the consistency testing calculations for the sub-criterion A1 (Labor Availability):

Consistency Testing for Sub-Criterion A1:

Pairwise Comparison Table for A1 (Labor Availability):

Calculations:

1. Calculate the Weighted Sum for Each Alternative:

   • Weighted Sum for Istanbul/Pendik = $1 \times 1 + 3 \times 1/3 + 5 \times 1/5 + 7 \times 1/7 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4$
   • Weighted Sum for Izmir/Bornova = $1/3 \times 1 + 1 \times 1 + 4 \times 1/4 + 6 \times 1/6 = 1/3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4/3$
   • Weighted Sum for Ankara/Keçiören = $1/5 \times 1 + 1/4 \times 1 + 1 \times 1 + 2 \times 1/2 = 1/5 + 1/4 + 1 + 1 = 29/20$
   • Weighted Sum for Bursa/Osmangazi = $1/7 \times 1 + 1/6 \times 1 + 1/2 \times 1 + 1 \times 1 = 1/7 + 1/6 + 1/2 + 1 = 157/60$

2. Calculate the Eigenvalue ($\lambda_{max}$):

   • $\lambda_{max} = \frac{\text{Sum of Weighted Sums}}{\text{Number of Alternatives}}$
   • $\lambda_{max} = \frac{4 + 4/3 + 29/20 + 157/60}{4} = \frac{111}{60}$

3. Calculate the Consistency Index (CI):

   • $\text{CI} = \frac{\lambda_{max} - \text{Number of Alternatives}}{\text{Number of Alternatives} - 1} = \frac{111/60 - 4}{4 - 1} = \frac{51}{60}$

4. Calculate the Random Index (RI) for a 4x4 matrix (from AHP literature or tables):

   • For a 4x4 matrix, RI = 0.9

5. Calculate the Consistency Ratio (CR):

   • $\text{CR} = \frac{\text{CI}}{\text{RI}} = \frac{51/60}{0.9}$

If the Consistency Ratio is below a certain threshold (commonly 0.1), the judgments for A1 are considered consistent.

To make a final choice among alternative locations, we need to complete the AHP process by calculating the overall weights for each alternative under the upper-level criteria (A, B, C, D) and their sub-criteria.

Since the calculations involve matrix multiplication and normalization, I'll provide a simplified result to illustrate the concept. In practice, you would use specialized software or tools for a more accurate and detailed analysis.

Let's assume we have calculated the following weights for each alternative:

Overall Weights for Alternatives:

• Production Efficiency (A):

  • Istanbul/Pendik: 0.3
  • Izmir/Bornova: 0.2
  • Ankara/Keçiören: 0.25
  • Bursa/Osmangazi: 0.25

• Labor Availability (A1):

  • Istanbul/Pendik: 0.35
  • Izmir/Bornova: 0.25
  • Ankara/Keçiören: 0.2
  • Bursa/Osmangazi: 0.2

• Infrastructure (A2):

  • Istanbul/Pendik: 0.2
  • Izmir/Bornova: 0.25
  • Ankara/Keçiören: 0.3
  • Bursa/Osmangazi: 0.25

• Technology (A3):

  • Istanbul/Pendik: 0.15
  • Izmir/Bornova: 0.3
  • Ankara/Keçiören: 0.25
  • Bursa/Osmangazi: 0.3

Now, to make a final choice, you may consider the alternative with the highest overall weight under the upper-level criteria, or you may apply further analysis based on your specific project goals and constraints.

For example, if you prioritize Production Efficiency, you might choose the location with the highest weight under A (Production Efficiency). If you consider a balanced approach, you might look at the overall highest weight considering all criteria.

Keep in mind that this is a simplified example, and real-world decision-making might involve additional factors, sensitivity analysis, and consultation with stakeholders.

Certainly! Let's evaluate the alternatives based on the highest total weight within the scope of high-level criteria (A, B, C, D).

Assuming you've calculated the overall weights for each alternative, let's illustrate with a hypothetical example:

Overall Weights for Alternatives:

• Production Efficiency (A):

  • Istanbul/Pendik: 0.3
  • Izmir/Bornova: 0.2
  • Ankara/Keçiören: 0.25
  • Bursa/Osmangazi: 0.25

• Manufacturing Standards (B1):

  • Istanbul/Pendik: 0.25
  • Izmir/Bornova: 0.2
  • Ankara/Keçiören: 0.3
  • Bursa/Osmangazi: 0.25

• Environmental Regulations (C1):

  • Istanbul/Pendik: 0.2
  • Izmir/Bornova: 0.25
  • Ankara/Keçiören: 0.3
  • Bursa/Osmangazi: 0.25

• Initial Investment (D1):

  • Istanbul/Pendik: 0.35
  • Izmir/Bornova: 0.2
  • Ankara/Keçiören: 0.2
  • Bursa/Osmangazi: 0.25

Total Weight for Each Alternative:

• Istanbul/Pendik:

  • Total Weight: $0.3 + 0.25 + 0.2 + 0.35 = 1.1$

• Izmir/Bornova:

  • Total Weight: $0.2 + 0.2 + 0.25 + 0.2 = 0.85$

• Ankara/Keçiören:

  • Total Weight: $0.25 + 0.3 + 0.3 + 0.2 = 1.05$

• Bursa/Osmangazi:

  • Total Weight: $0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 1$

Evaluation:

In this hypothetical example, based on the highest total weight, the alternative Istanbul/Pendik has the highest total weight (1.1). Therefore, it is the recommended location choice within the scope of the high-level criteria (A, B, C, D).

Keep in mind that this is a simplified example, and real-world decision-making might involve more comprehensive analysis and consideration of various factors and constraints.

Determining the average estimated cost for each alternative involves additional detailed cost analysis, which would depend on various factors such as labor costs, construction expenses, operational costs, and more. I'll provide a generalized example with arbitrary cost values for illustration:

Average Estimated Costs (Hypothetical Example):

Istanbul/Pendik:

• Labor Costs: $50 million
• Construction Expenses: $100 million
• Operational Costs (per year): $20 million

Average Estimated Cost = (Labor Costs + Construction Expenses) / 2 + Operational Costs

Izmir/Bornova:

• Labor Costs: $45 million
• Construction Expenses: $90 million
• Operational Costs (per year): $18 million

Average Estimated Cost = (Labor Costs + Construction Expenses) / 2 + Operational Costs

Ankara/Keçiören:

• Labor Costs: $55 million
• Construction Expenses: $110 million
• Operational Costs (per year): $22 million

Average Estimated Cost = (Labor Costs + Construction Expenses) / 2 + Operational Costs

Bursa/Osmangazi:

• Labor Costs: $48 million
• Construction Expenses: $96 million
• Operational Costs (per year): $19 million

Average Estimated Cost = (Labor Costs + Construction Expenses) / 2 + Operational Costs

These cost values are entirely arbitrary and for illustrative purposes only. In a real-world scenario, you would need to gather accurate data on labor costs, construction expenses, and operational costs for each location. Additionally, consider other factors such as taxes, utilities, and any specific expenses related to the car factory project. It's recommended to involve financial experts or consultants to conduct a thorough cost analysis for more accurate results.

Performing a cost/benefit analysis involves comparing the costs and benefits associated with each alternative. In the absence of specific cost and benefit data, I'll continue with a hypothetical example, but keep in mind that actual values may vary based on your project and location. For simplicity, let's use the previously mentioned arbitrary cost values and introduce hypothetical benefits:

Hypothetical Cost/Benefit Analysis:

Istanbul/Pendik:

• Average Estimated Cost: $130 million
• Hypothetical Benefits: Increased production efficiency, good access to skilled labor, and favorable environmental conditions.

Izmir/Bornova:

• Average Estimated Cost: $123 million
• Hypothetical Benefits: Strategic location, access to a skilled workforce, and potential tax incentives.

Ankara/Keçiören:

• Average Estimated Cost: $137 million
• Hypothetical Benefits: Central location, access to a skilled workforce, and government support.

Bursa/Osmangazi:

• Average Estimated Cost: $129 million
• Hypothetical Benefits: Proximity to suppliers, skilled labor availability, and potential for sustainable practices.

Analysis:

• Istanbul/Pendik: Higher average estimated cost but potentially higher benefits in terms of production efficiency and environmental conditions.

• Izmir/Bornova: Moderate average estimated cost with strategic location benefits and potential incentives.

• Ankara/Keçiören: Slightly higher average estimated cost but benefits from central location and government support.

• Bursa/Osmangazi: Lower average estimated cost with proximity to suppliers and potential for sustainable practices.

Conclusion:

The best alternative depends on the weight assigned to costs versus benefits and the specific priorities of your project. If minimizing costs is the primary concern, you might lean towards Bursa/Osmangazi. If maximizing benefits and production efficiency are crucial, Istanbul/Pendik could be the preferred choice.

Consider creating a scoring system or assigning weights to costs and benefits based on the project's goals and constraints. You may also want to consult with stakeholders or experts in the field to ensure a comprehensive analysis. Additionally, it's recommended to conduct sensitivity analysis to evaluate the impact of changes in cost or benefit assumptions on the final decision.
