Entscheidungsfindung in der humanitären Logistik : ein multikriterielles Transshipmentmodell zur Allokation von Hilfsgütern in laufenden Hilfsaktionen

Humanitarian relief operations rarely proceed smoothly and disruptions as, e.g., the outbreak of an epidemic or aftershocks, are common. Such situations are known as overlapping disasters. Relief organizations have to deal with the disruptions while at the same time the ongoing relief operation has to proceed. As future developments are uncertain, the aim cannot be to determine a unique optimal solution. Rather, various scenarios are formulated, representing possible developments of the situation. A multi-objective transshipment model is formulated to find efficient allocations of relief items for different scenarios. The model mHumLog is solved by two solution methods both considering uncertainties about future developments. Different indicators are developed for evaluating the scenarios in order to find appropriate decision rules to support the aid worker in allocating relief items.
