Logistics firms are exposed several domestic and global risks such as variability in demand, shipment damages, earthquakes, and terrorist attacks. The purpose of this study is to provide an approach for selecting a logistics firm based on logistics risk factors according to the manufacturing firms' perspectives. An analytical network process method is utilized to determine risk factors' importance levels and VIKOR method is used to select the logistics firm. The study results show that the most important logistics risk factors are customer and supplier, and the least risky logistic firm is B. It can be concluded that the proposed model enables managers to examine potential risks influencing their logistics activities and select the logistics firm having minimum risk.

A recognized problem when searching for primeval galaxies at cosmological distances is a definition of a firm selection criterion (alternative to a direct but extremely time-demanding measure of z) to single out high-redshift candidates from the plethora of other more or less peculiar objects (i.e. AGN, starburst galaxies etc.) at lower distances.The case of the HST “Deep Field” (HDF) observations (Williams et al. 1996) is especially relevant in this regard as galaxies up to z = 3.2 have been detected in the field (Steidel et al. 1996).
