The location selection of distribution centers is one of important strategies to optimize the logistics system. To solve this problem, this paper presents a new multi-actor multi-attribute decision-making method based on ELECTRE I. The proposed method helps decision-makers to select a preferred location from a given set of locations for implementing. The strength of the proposed method is to incorporate the preferences of a set of decision-makers into account, notably the role of their experience into the decision-making process, consider both quantitative and qualitative criteria, take into account both desirable directions (Min and Max) and validate the selected location by both tests of concordance and discordance simultaneously. A case study is provided to illustrate the proposed method.
