Humanitarian Supply Chain Analytics
EF 2023-24
Résumé
The human and economic impacts of disasters have increased in recent years, and humanitarian needs are expected to further increase due to pandemics, climate change and conflicts. The unpredictable nature of disasters and the complex network of organizations participating in relief operations create many challenges in humanitarian supply chains. This research program aims to implement state-of-the-art methodologies to support data-driven decision and policy making. To this end, analytics and optimization methods will be developed to solve problems arising in various contexts such as identifying locations and reinforcing infrastructures for emergency shelters, planning food aid distribution, and designing collaborative prepositioning networks.
