the most important issues that should be considered in studying disaster management include temporary settlement of injured population, supplying relief commodities, designing an appropriate communication infrastructure for communication during disaster. for this purpose, in this paper a model has been proposed for locating shelters, warehouses of relief commodities, and also telecom towers, wh...

Following the occurrence of unexpected events and natural disasters, a highly important relief operation is the transferring of relief commodities from the distribution centers (CDs) to shelters. In this paper, a three-level network consisting of depot of vehicles, distribution centers and shelters has been considered for routing and scheduling of relief vehicles through introducing a multi-obj...

disasters can cause many casualties and considerable destruction mainly because of ineffective preventive measures, incomplete preparedness, and weak relief logistics systems. after catastrophic events happen, quick and effective response is of great importance, so as to having an efficient logistic plan for distributing needed relief commodities efficiently and fairly among affected people. in...

occurrence of natural disaster inflicts irreparable injuries and symptoms on humans. in such conditions, affected people are waiting for medical services and relief commodities. thus, quick reaction of medical services and relief commodities supply play important roles in improving natural disaster management. in this paper, a multi-objective non-linear credibility-based fuzzy mathematical prog...

In this paper, a bi-objective model is proposed for designing a pre-positioning network of pharmaceutical supplies considering their limited shelf-life. The presented model aims to consider both cost efficiency and responsiveness by minimization of total cost and the maximum amount of unmet demand under uncertainties in demand and supply sides’ data. Moreover, for effective distribution of reli...

Logistics planning in disaster response phase involves dispatching commodities such as medical materials, personnel, food, etc. to affected areas as soon as possible to accelerate the relief operations. Since transportation vehicles in disaster situations can be considered as scarce resources, thus, the efficient usage of them is substantially important. In this study, we provide a dynamic vehi...

Warehouses are scientifically designed storage structures that protect the quantity and quality of stored products with necessary preservation methods. This study was conducted to assess growth performance warehouses, Negotiable Warehouse Receipt (NWR) electronic (e-NWR) in India. Percentage analysis indicated there is 102.42 per cent number Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) warehouses aver...
