Abstract

The ”Fuzzy-Enhanced for Emergency Logistics Resource Allocation in Supply Chain Networks (FEM-ELRAS)” presents a novel approach to optimizing emergency logistics and resource allocation in supply chain networks, especially during critical disaster response scenarios. This research integrates fuzzy logic with the improve Multi Agent Genetic Algorithm (MAGA), creating a more adaptive and efficient framework capable of handling the uncertainties and complexities inherent in emergency situations. FEM-ELRAS employs fuzzy decision variables to represent ambiguous and fluctuating parameters like demand at disaster sites, supply availability, and variable transportation conditions. It incorporates a fuzzy inference system, utilizing expert-derived rules to guide the allocation process amidst uncertain and rapidly changing conditions. The algorithm’s evaluation mechanism is enhanced with fuzzy logic, offering a refined assessment of solution effectiveness, balancing multiple logistical objectives such as minimizing response time, optimizing costs, and maximizing resource utilization and delivery precision. Moreover, fuzzy logic principles are integrated into the genetic algorithm’s operators, enabling more context-sensitive and flexible solution adaptations. FEM-ELRAS is particularly designed to navigate the trade-offs between different logistical goals in emergency scenarios, making it a robust tool for decision-makers in disaster management. Its application promises significant improvements in emergency response efficiency, showcasing a step forward in the field of emergency logistics and supply chain management.
