Abstract

Purpose The earth is facing challenges to work for the survival of human life during domino effect disasters. The emergency resource storage locations should be selected considering the probability of domino effect disasters. The first purpose of this study is to select the storage locations where domino effect probability is less. And second, facility development cost and transportation costs and costs for unutilized capacity have been optimized. Design/methodology/approach The work is a multiobjective optimization problem and solved with weighted sum approach. At first, the probabilities of domino effect due to natural disasters are calculated based on the earthquake zones. Then with that result along with other necessary data, the location to set up storage facilities and the quantities of resources that need to be transported has been determined. Findings The work targeted a country, Bangladesh for example. The authors have noticed that Bangladesh is currently storing relief items at warehouse which is under the domino effect prone region. The authors are proposing to avoid this location and identified the optimized cost for setting up the facilities. In this work, the authors pointed out which location has high probability of domino effect and after avoiding this location whether cost can be optimized, and the result demonstrated that this decision can be economical. Originality/value Disaster response authorities should try to take necessary proactive steps during cascading disasters. The novelty of this work is determining the locations to select storage facilities if the authors consider the probability of the domino effect. Then a facility location optimization model has been developed to minimize the costs. This paper can support policymakers to assess the strategies for selecting the location of emergency resource facilities.
考虑灾难后多米诺骨牌效应的应急资源储存设施选址问题
在多米诺骨牌效应的灾难中,地球正面临着人类生命生存的挑战。应急资源储存地点的选择应考虑发生多米诺骨牌效应灾害的可能性。本研究的第一个目的是选择多米诺效应概率较小的存储地点。其次,优化了设施开发成本、运输成本和未利用产能成本。设计/方法/途径该工作是一个多目标优化问题,采用加权和法求解。首先,根据地震带计算自然灾害产生多米诺效应的概率。然后,根据该结果和其他必要的数据,确定了建立存储设施的位置和需要运输的资源数量。这项研究的目标是一个国家,比如孟加拉国。作者注意到,孟加拉国目前将救济物品储存在易受多米诺骨牌效应影响的仓库。作者建议避免这个位置,并确定了设置设施的最佳成本。在本工作中,作者指出了哪些地点具有高概率的多米诺效应以及在避开该地点后是否可以优化成本,结果表明该决策是经济的。原创性/价值灾害响应当局应尝试在级联灾害期间采取必要的主动措施。这项工作的新颖之处在于,如果作者考虑到多米诺效应的可能性,就可以确定选择储存设施的地点。在此基础上,建立了以成本最小化为目标的设施选址优化模型。本文可为决策者评估应急资源设施选址策略提供依据。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management (JHLSCM) is targeted at academics and practitioners in humanitarian public and private sector organizations working on all aspects of humanitarian logistics and supply chain management. The journal promotes the exchange of knowledge, experience and new ideas between researchers and practitioners and encourages a multi-disciplinary and cross-functional approach to the resolution of problems and exploitations of opportunities within humanitarian supply chains. Contributions are encouraged from diverse disciplines (logistics, operations management, process engineering, health care, geography, management science, information technology, ethics, corporate social responsibility, disaster management, development aid, public policy) but need to have a logistics and/or supply chain focus. JHLSCM publishes state of the art research, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative approaches, in the field of humanitarian and development aid logistics and supply chain management.
