International Journal of Logistics Systems and Management (IJLSM), Vol. 11, No. 1, 2012

Abstract: In this paper, an effective Decision Support System (DSS) concerning the site selection of a new paper mill is reported. The analysis is executed adopting the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. In particular, a specific wide hierarchy structure has been defined considering 49 criteria outlined via questionnaires and interviews with several logistics and production managers of the paper mills located in the district of Lucca (Italy), one of the most important areas for the production and converting of pulpboard and tissue in Europe. A sensitivity analysis based on a particular case study demonstrates the robustness of the proposed decision structure.
