GIS and Optimisation: Potential Benefits for Emergency Facility Location in Humanitarian Logistics
Floods are one of the most dangerous and common disasters worldwide, and these disasters are closely linked to the geography of the affected area. As a result, several papers in the academic field of humanitarian logistics have incorporated the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for disaster management. However, most of the contributions in the literature are using these systems for ...
متن کاملFacility location in humanitarian relief
In this study, we consider facility location decisions for a humanitarian relief chain responding to quick-onset disasters. In particular, we develop a model that determines the number and locations of distribution centres in a relief network and the amount of relief supplies to be stocked at each distribution centre to meet the needs of people affected by the disasters. Our model, which is a v...
متن کاملFacility Location Model for Reverse Logistics
This paper presents a study that characterizes, formulates, and solves the reverse logistic network design. A Mixed Linear Program model is formulated that systematically minimizes reverse logistics operating costs for the strategic problem facility location of collection sites, cannibalization and recycling. The facility location is a central issue of the logistics networks. In this paper we a...
متن کاملImproving emergency response logistics through advanced GIS
Background: Emergency call centres, commonly known as “112” or “911”, are a crucial part of modern infrastructure. The location of the emergency, any related data, and good GIS support are required for their efficient operations. The location in particular is a vital piece of information but nevertheless often not obtained automatically at all or with insufficient accuracy, thus limiting both t...
متن کاملMulti-objective optimisation of facility location decisions within integrated forward/reverse logistics under uncertainty
In this paper, a stochastic mixed integer linear programming (SMILP) model is proposed to optimize the location and size of facilities and service centres in integrated forward and reverse streams under uncertainty. The objective of the model is to minimize establishment, transportation and inventory management costs and simultaneously maximize customer satisfaction with sustainable perspective...
