    Multi-objective disaster relief logistics
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2018) Samarah, Mahdi M; Agca Aktunc, Esra
    Disaster relief logistics is one of the major fields of operations research. Deciding the locations of depots before the disaster by minimizing total costs and total distances between nodes of demands and these depots is the main purpose of this study. The efficiency of disaster relief logistics is expressed in terms of the total transportation cost. The other objective function is considering minimizing total accumulated time to represent efficacy to supply different number of pallets which include basic materials and necessary types of foods. Equity is represented by minimizing the percentage of unsatisfied demand achieved by balancing the capability to serve demand nodes and the ability to diminish number of pallets that would not reach the nodes. Dealing with uncertainty in both demands and distances create different scenarios for our study and the results explain how each objective function affects the logistics decisions for each scenario.
