dc.description.abstractDemand for the medical equipment and pharmaceutical industry is gradually increasing with the effect of health problems that have diversified in the process from past to present. In addition to this demand, the spread of the COVID-19 virus, which has affected the whole world, has made it necessary to easily access medical supplies. With the results of the vaccine studies conducted in this period, which competes with time, the supply of the resource to the consumers emerges as a critical problem. For this reason, the problem of choosing the place for the medicine warehouse and vaccine distribution center, which includes health products, was discussed in the study. For the warehouse organization that will serve the pharmaceutical and vaccine industry, it is aimed to select the most suitable warehouse location by using multi criteria decision making methods (MCDM), AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), ANP (Analytic Network Process) and PROMETHEE methods. In the problem under consideration, 5 alternative scenario solutions have been compared with each other. 4 alternative regions in Kirikkale province were evaluated in terms of its strategic location, and solutions were realized by taking 3 main criteria and 7 sub criteria into consideration. With this study, solution comparison of AHP, ANP and PROMETHEE methods was made for the first time for the problem of choosing medicine warehouse and vaccine distribution center location and contributes to the literature.
