dc.description.abstractPharmaceutical warehouses are among the centers that play a critical role in the delivery of medicines from the producers to the consumers. Especially with the new drugs and vaccines added during the pandemic period to the supply chain, the importance of the regions they are located in has increased critically. Since the selection of pharmaceutical warehouse location is a strategic decision, it should be handled in detail and a comprehensive analysis should be made for the location selection process. Considering all these, in this study, a real-case application by taking the problem of selecting the best location for a pharmaceutical warehouse is carried out for a city that can be seen as critical in drug distribution in Turkey. For this aim, two effective multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodologies, namely Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS), are integrated under spherical fuzzy environment to reflect fuzziness and indeterminacy better in the decision-making process and the pharmaceutical warehouse location selection problem is discussed by the proposed fuzzy integrated methodology for the first time. Finally, the best region is found for the pharmaceutical warehouse and the results are discussed under the determined criteria. A detailed robustness analysis is also conducted to measure the validity, sensibility and effectiveness of the proposed methodology. With this study, it can be claimed that literature has initiated to be revealed for the pharmaceutical warehouse location problem and a guide has been put forward for those who are willing to study this area.en_US
