Selection of Humanitarian Supply Chain Warehouse Location: A Case Study Based on the MCDM Methodology
Abstract
"Disaster" is a general name given to events that cause physical, economic, and social losses for people that will disrupt the functioning of a community or society. Disasters that occur largely or completely beyond the control of people cause a mass loss of life and property. Turkey is in one of the most effective earthquake zones which is the Mediterranean-Alpine-Himalayan belt. Almost, every 5 years, one big earthquake is happened and causes loss of life and property. Disaster management requires complex logistic activities and it is an unpredictable marketplace, they must be managed appropriately to achieve faster and more efficient results. In this study, evaluation of the factors which is affecting the location selection of the humanitarian supply chain warehouses (HSCW) at the local and regional levels is done with multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) based methods. Main and subcriteria weights are Main criteria and subcriteria were calculated with AHP. The ranking of criteria and alternatives was carried out with the TOPSIS method. In this study, AHP-TOPSIS integrated criteria assessment is conducted for the HSCW selection problem. This study intends to explore the humanitarian supply chain warehouse selection problem and evaluate criteria to improve humanitarian supply chain management and location selection implementation.
