Abstract
Selection of a terrain vehicle for performing different tasks is an important factor, which influences the mobility of a user through the quality of conducting transport activities. This paper is dealing with the problem of the terrain vehicle selection for the equipping of military units which, are to be engaged in multinational operations, using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Determination of the relative importance of criteria, which are used for evaluation of potential alternatives is conducted through AHP method. The results proposed by the AHP method are used as multiple outputs of the defined DEA model for the selection of the terrain vehicle. Based on the DEA model the efficiencies of alternatives are defined and also the final ranking of alternatives is determined. Besides the hybrid model AHP-DEA, which is the integral part of a basic multicriteria model in this paper the possible applications of Best Worst Method (BWM) and FUll COnsistency Model (FUCOM) are presented through validation of models. The validation is conducted through statistical data obtained by application of different multicriteria techniques, using Spearman’s Correlation Coefficient (SCC).
Highlights
One of the most important tasks of the armed forces is the active contribution to the regional and global peace and security, which can be done through participation in the multinational operations
The third objective of this paper is a possibility of improvement of efficiency and risk reduction during perfomance of multinational operations unit tasks through model defining for an adequate transport means selection
If criterion “Financial construction – budgeting” is significantly the most important one, sensitivity analysis could be proved by the fact that in practice, when in the process of decision-making in buying vehicles for the needs of Serbian Armed Forces is not performed by multicriteria principle, almost always the main criterion for the decision-making is the price of the vehicle
Summary
One of the most important tasks of the armed forces is the active contribution to the regional and global peace and security, which can be done through participation in the multinational operations. The armed forces can be engaged in the wide range of the multinational operations, which demands work on the unit’s capabilities to fully respond to the defined missions. The unit’s ability to respond on time, qualitatively and securely, to accomplish the given tasks within the multinational operations, among all, depends on the efficiency of the transport logistic system. Managing such a system of transport logistics directly depends on the level of the unit equipment with an adequate transportation means, that is, the usage of the modern transport means in multinational operations became necessary.
