    (Daffodil International University, 2020-10-07) Hasan, Md. Mehedi; Chakma, Martina
    Business investors are frequently faced with complex decisions, such as selecting the location of cold storage warehouses based on multiple inconsistent criteria. An inappropriate site selection imposes excessive effects on both customers and investors of urban areas. Nowadays, multi-attributes decision-making approaches are recommended to apply to progress exactness of decision making and lessen additional adverse. This work proposes a decision support framework for location selection of cold storage warehouses using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model. An efficient case study is evaluated in Bangladesh considering several factors using the Analytic Hierarchy Process. This paper also describes the necessity for setting up cold storage warehouse. In this study, we have considered 6 attributes and 18 sub attributes among 3 different locations in Bangladesh as alternatives. The alternative relative importance has been calculated by using AHP. The ultimate decision is prepared based on the arithmetical scores snatched by the alternatives. For finalizing the optimal solution both the AHP result and the benchmark deduction have been taken into account. A numerical study is presented to demonstrate the possible alternative of the proposed methodology.
