Surdurulebilir yuksek yatirim getirisi, var olan kaynaklarin etkin ve verimli bir sekilde kullanilmasiyla saglanmaktadir. Bu amacla, operasyonel faktorlerin, yatirim getirisinin bilisenleri olarak ele alinmasi sirketlerin operasyon faaliyetlerinin guclu ve zayif yanlarini ortaya cikarmaktadir. Bu calismada, yatirim getirisi agac modeli gelistirmek amaclanmistir. Modelde, kapasite kullanimi, yolcu verimi, isgucu maliyeti, isgucu verimliligi ve yakit maliyeti olarak operasyon faktorleri ele alinmis olup sirketin karliligiyla iliskisi sekillenmistir. Calismada yapilan uygulama sonuclarina gore, kapasite kullanimi ve yolcu verimindeki iyilesmeler yatirim getirisini onemli olcude arttirmaktadir. Yalniz, isgucu maliyeti, isgucu verimliligi ve yakit maliyetindeki politika iyilestirmeleri fazlasiyla gerceklestirilebilmektedir. Bu calisma, hava tasimacilik sirketleri icin operasyonel ve finansal performansi iyilestirmek icin kullanisli ve etkili bir model sunmaktadir. Onerilen model, verimlilik faktorlerinin karliligi olumlu etkileyen bir faktor olarak baglanmasini saglamaktadir ve rekabet avantaji kaynaklarinin degerlendirilmesine yardimci olmaktadir.

Though, there is an insisting need to a reliable and consistent approach where the application procedures are not complicated. In this study, a fuzzy Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach is developed to evaluate the financial performance of companies listed in food and drink index of Istanbul Stock Exchange. Financial ratios were identified to create a base for financial performance evaluation in the areas of: profitability, efficiency, growth, liquidity, leverage and market ratios. Weight coefficients were obtained by the objective method of Fuzzy Shannon's Entropy (FSE). Evaluation and ranking were made on the base of the new method of Fuzzy Evaluation Based on Distance from Average Solution (FEDAS). In order to test the reliability of the approach a scenario analysis is conducted based on CRITIC weighting method. Comparison with other MCDM methods and spearman correlation are conducted to test validity of the proposed approach. The proposed approach is reliable and provides the most suitable result comparing with other MCDM methods.

The aim of this study is to propose a financial performance evaluation model, based on ratio analysis of solvency, efficiency, and profitability, utilizing the integrated Fuzzy AHP Fuzzy TOPSIS. Fuzzy AHP method is used to assign weights for the evaluation criteria, and Fuzzy TOPSIS method is used to rank alternatives. Profitability and Solvency are the most important criteria, the Return On Assets and Return On Sales a company can achieve are the most important norms to reflect how well a company financially operates. The application of this model on airline companies listed in Istanbul Stock Exchange showed that Pegasus has a better financial performance than Turkish Airlines.
