Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to scrutinize the nature of the humanitarian aid supply chain and discuss the degree to which certain business supply chain concepts. The main objective of this paper is to develop a comprehensive model to find the optimal location of supplies and to assist planners during the design of the logistics efforts for humanitarian relief that mitigates and reduces the risk of disruption on the humanitarian aid. In this paper, we develop a mathematical model for location-routing models and pre-position of supplies for disaster areas. Our main purpose is the use of integer programming model to find the optimal location of supplies. It is shown that the problem can be solved more effectively and efficiently even for medium- and large-scale transportation networks.
