Distribution Center Location Selection in Humanitarian Logistics Using Hybrid BWM

Distribution Center Location Selection in Humanitarian Logistics Using Hybrid BWM–ARAS: A Case Study in Türkiye. Erden, C., Ateş, Ç., & Esen, S. Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, June, 2023.

Paper doi abstract bibtex

This study investigates the criteria aﬀecting the location of humanitarian logistics distribution centers in the Sakarya province of Turkey, an area prone to natural disasters. The study identiﬁes potential distribution center locations and uses the BestWorst Method (BWM) to determine criteria such as population, distance to major highways and airports, public transportation availability, natural disaster risk, and suitable infrastructure. BWM is used to assign weights to each criterion and rank them based on their importance. The Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) method is then used to evaluate potential distribution center locations based on the established criteria. Disaster management experts and academicians provide their opinions through an online and face-to-face survey. Based on the results, Adapazarı is identiﬁed as the most suitable district for a humanitarian logistics distribution center. The study highlights the importance of considering multiple criteria when selecting distribution center locations and provides a framework for using multi-criteria decision-making methods in logistics planning. Disaster managers and policymakers can use the results to make informed decisions about the location of humanitarian logistics distribution centers.
