Purpose-
Optimum location of warehouses for disaster logistics
increases the performance of humanitarian logistics, so that all the
needs of beneficiaries can be delivered in a short time. In this paper, a
multi-criteria decision analysis model is designed to decide the best warehouse
location in disaster logistics in Trabzon, Turkey.
Methodology-
Entropy is used to
determine the important weights of the criteria. The SAW, TOPSIS and VIKOR
methods are utilized to rank the warehouse location alternatives. The ranking
results are also combined by the Borda
Count method to obtain a final ranking. The robustness of the model is
examined by the sensitivity analysis.
Findings- According
to the results of the analysis, the disaster situation of the land, land size,
and the distance of settlement were determined as the three most important
criteria. Sensitivity analysis also proved
the robustness of the model.
Conclusion- The
results are consistent with the expectations of the decision makers and seem to
support their decisions.
For future studies, the results can be compared using fuzzy
techniques.
