Abstract
Optimization of transportation for organizational projects is paramount, as identifying and evaluating transportation barriers constitutes key strategic decisions for managers and decision-makers. This study focuses on three main objectives: identifying the factors influencing lean logistics and transportation barriers, clarifying the interrelationships among the research criteria, and determining their relative importance and ranking in petroleum product distribution. A hybrid model was employed to achieve these objectives. First, the Delphi method was utilized to facilitate the examination of interrelationships among the research criteria. Additionally, fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making techniques, including the fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process, were applied to assign specific weights to the criteria. Subsequently, the VIKOR method enabled the prioritization of these criteria. The findings of this study confirm the existence of significant relationships between lean logistics, lean criteria, and transportation barriers, highlighting that managerial barriers and lean managerial logistics are the most critical obstacles and factors, respectively, in petroleum product distribution. These findings can assist managers in improving distribution processes and mitigating key transportation barriers.
