The temporary external storage of Fully Build Units is currently a standard part of the outbound logistics of many car manufacturing companies. This problem arises mainly from the contradiction between the significant disruptions of supply chains caused by, for example, COVID-19, the chip crisis, the Ukraine war, and the reluctance to lose the production capacity of the assembly lines and related manufacturing operations. To effectively manage the given process, selecting the provider and location where the external storage will take place is vital. The aim of this article is to create a methodology based on multi-criteria decision-making, which will enable this selection.
