Mathematical Models for Planning in Military and Humanitarian Logistics [Wiskundige modellen voor het plannen van militaire en humanitaire logistiek]
doctoral thesis
Military and humanitarian logistics present unique challenges that distinguish them from logistical problems in the private sector. While logistical challenges in the private sector often focus on cost-minimisation or profit-maximisation, military and humanitarian logistics focus on the effective and efficient use of scarce resources, often in unpredictable and challenging environments. The problems often involve unique constraints that are not present in other domains, such as the need for coordination and equity. Consequently, military and humanitarian logistics problems require tailored solution approaches. In this thesis, we study various military and humanitarian optimisation problems. ©2025, Mette Wagenvoort
