The CRITIC method was used to determine the objective weights of the criteria, while the WASPAS method utilized these weights to calculate the overall performance scores of the alternatives. Findings: The results of the study reveal the key criteria that businesses should consider when selecting Logistics 4.0 service providers and identifying the top-performing service providers. Originality: This study highlights the advantages and effectiveness of using the combined CRITIC and WASPAS methods in the selection of service providers in the logistics sector. Additionally, it contributes to the literature on the selection of Logistics 4.0 service providers.
