Priorización multicriterio para la afiliación a un banco de alimentos en Colombia

Abstract

The decision-making process in organizations is a vital responsibility, which leads to generating strategies to minimize errors in making important decisions. This research presents a model that integrates the AHP with TOPSIS that will allow The Food Bank Foundation to speed up and facilitate the affiliation of Social Organizations using the most relevant variables and criteria (Coverage, Location, Population Group, Food Times, Program and Physical Resources) to make this decision; which is expected to improve Processes and be more efficient in meeting the social intervention objectives of the food bank. This, being a Solidarity and non-profit organization that seeks to minimize food waste, through the application of reverse logistics operations to recover and take advantage of food surpluses and distribute them among the most vulnerable population, has as a very important point associated with the Management and the definition of the beneficiaries; due to the fact that the applications for affiliation are generally more than the support available, so it is necessary to prioritize this activity according to multiple criteria. This research study allowed to design a tool that facilitates the decision making of affiliation combining the different relevant factors in the process.
