Abstract EN
In the past decade the humanitarian supply chain (HSC) has attracted the attention of researchers due to the increasing frequency of disasters.
The uncertainty in time, location, and severity of disaster during predisaster phase and poor conditions of available infrastructure during postdisaster phase make HSC operations difficult to handle.
In order to overcome the difficulties during these phases, we need to assure that HSC operations are designed in an efficient manner to minimize human and economic losses.
In the recent times, several mathematical optimization techniques and algorithms have been developed to increase the efficiency of HSC operations.
These techniques and algorithms developed for the field of HSC motivate the need of a systematic literature review.
Owing to the importance of mathematical modelling techniques, this paper presents the review of the mathematical contributions made in the last decade in the field of HSC.
A systematic literature review methodology is used for this paper due to its transparent procedure.
There are two objectives of this study: the first one is to conduct an up-to-date survey of mathematical models developed in HSC area and the second one is to highlight the potential research areas which require attention of the researchers.
