Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to empirically study the selection for developing multimodal logistic mode (M-LM) locations in Taiwan using the quantitative and qualitative multicriteria decision-making approach. Multinational corporations in the logistics arena were surveyed to collect factors and the priorities for location development for each type of M-LM using the fuzzy multiple criteria Q-analysis (MCQA) approach. It is suggested that each location has different competitive elements that support different types of M-LM. The findings show proposed locations for developing M-LM in Taiwan.
