Finding Humanitarian Supply Chain Management Challenges using Uncertain MCDM Methodology

Challenges have emerged for Humanitarian Supply Chain Management (HSCM), a valid and prominent subject today. It primarily focuses on stakeholders, including governments, various non-governmental organisations (NGOs), donors, suppliers, and affected communities. Addressing these challenges enhances disaster response efficiency, resource allocation, and aid delivery. In this work, we have selected several criteria, namely funding, coordination, infrastructure, transparency, logistics, and sustainability. Triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs) are used as a mathematical tool to handle uncertainty. Data sets are collected from two decision-makers who provide their decisions in linguistic terms, which are then converted into crisp numbers. The weight of the criteria is evaluated using a popular multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology, specifically the Criteria Importance Through Inter-criteria Correlation (CRITIC) method.
