Using Containers As Storage Facilities In Humanitarian Logistics

Şahin, Ayşenur - Nama Orang; Ertem, Mustafa Alp - Nama Orang; Emür, Emel - Nama Orang;

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of freight containers to store relief items
instead of operating a permanent warehouse building.
Design/methodology/approach – A mathematical model is developed to determine the location and
quantity of containers as well as the type and amount of relief supplies to store in order to investigate
the practicality of using freight containers for storage. The model is tested using earthquake risk
data, estimates of population under risk, and the distances between cities. An experimental study is
performed using Turkish Prime Ministry Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency
(abbreviated as AFAD in Turkish) data for total number of relief supplies.
Findings – Considering the earthquake risk of possible locations, the results of the study indicate the
target locations for containers. The idea of using containers as storage facilities helped beneficiaries to
be reached within a short distance and in an efficient way.
Research limitations/implications – The presented model is not implemented in real life disaster
relief operations even if it is tested with real earthquake risk, demand and distance data.
Practical implications – To apply this model in practice, the container locations within cities should
be determined and managerial operations such as maintenance, environmental, and security planning
have to be considered.
Originality/value – This study presents the first analysis of three sub-topics’ intersection: warehousing,
pre-positioning in disaster relief, and containerization. To the best of authors’ knowledge, containers have
not been considered for storage of relief items in humanitarian logistics before.
