摘要：Humanitarian assistance by foreign organizations in general and foreign military forces in particular, is typically provided in a non-neutral political environment. Local politics that range from national pride, through strained relations with the country offering military logistic support, to blatant aversion to the population in need, affect the ability to provide effective humanitarian aid. The current paper presents the use of mathematical modeling and robustness approach when the government of the affected area declines offers of aid from international organizations because of political constraints. The multi-objective model seeks to minimize unsatisfied demands and total costs of the government and suppliers. To explore the effects of various parameters and show managerial insights that can guide DMs under a variety of conditions, the sensitivity analysis of the experiments are presented.
