    Master Thesis
    Assignment of afad warehouses to container ports in Turkey
    (Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2017) Kılınç, Mehmet Can
    The assignment of AFAD warehouses to container ports is a vital topic, but it has not been studied thoroughly in the literature. Turkey is a special case for using maritime transportation in humanitarian logistics, because of the geopolitical location and vulnerability of our country. The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the use of maritime transportation in humanitarian logistics to respond natural disasters effectively for Turkey via the assignment of AFAD warehouses to container ports. In this thesis, a mathematical model for assigning 25 Prime Ministry Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD in Turkish) logistics warehouses to suitable ports in Turkey is developed. The capabilities of ports to handle humanitarian logistics activities, ports' closeness to AFAD logistics warehouses, suitability of access using different transportation modes and capacities of AFAD logistics warehouses are some of the criteria that is considered in this model. Assignments are also analyzed by taking into consideration of container ports' railway connections availability. The developed approach provides an alternative solution to humanitarian operations in Turkey.

    Using containers as astorage facilities in humanitarian logistics
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2014) Ertem, Mustafa Alp; Ertem, Mustafa Alp; Emur, Emel; Endüstri Mühendisliği
    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.
