Abstract

The frequency of catastrophic natural disasters is rising, and much emphasis is being given to the Humanitarian Supply chain (HSC). The main goal of relief efforts is to get enough emergency supplies to the area hit by the disaster as quickly as possible. The decision of where to locate warehouses that will store relief supplies presents a significant obstacle for humanitarian relief organizations as they work to enhance their capacity for providing aid and their rescue plan. A non-optimal location could make the search and rescue efforts harder. More importantly, it has been seen that when these kinds of geographical sites are evaluated, social and environmental issues are not considered. This research paper aims to make humanitarian networks more accountable by determining the ideal warehouse site and considering both traditional and sustainable factors. A framework for selecting warehouses to keep relief goods was devised using the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach. Best-Worst and TOPSIS (“Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to the Ideal Solution”) methods were used to rank the potential locations based on Cost, Logistics, Environmental, and Social Criteria. A research study has been done in the State of West Bengal (District Arambagh).
人道主义供应链中可持续仓库选址的多准则决策方法
灾难性自然灾害的频率正在上升,人道主义供应链受到了高度重视。救援工作的主要目标是尽快向受灾地区提供足够的应急物资。决定将储存救济物资的仓库设在哪里,对人道主义救济组织来说是一个重大障碍,因为它们正在努力提高提供援助的能力和救援计划。非最佳位置可能会使搜救工作更加困难。更重要的是,人们已经看到,在评估这些类型的地理位置时,没有考虑社会和环境问题。这篇研究论文旨在通过确定理想的仓库地点并考虑传统和可持续因素,使人道主义网络更加负责任。采用多标准决策方法设计了一个选择仓库存放救济物资的框架。最佳-最差和TOPSIS(“与理想解决方案相似的订单性能技术”)方法用于根据成本、物流、环境和社会标准对潜在地点进行排名。在西孟加拉邦(阿拉姆巴格区)进行了一项研究。
