Abstract
This paper focuses on the supplier selection in a humanitarian relief chain. Considering the negative impact that natural disasters have in society and their environment, the procurement costs could be a challenging issue for humanitarian organizations (HO). Post-disaster procurement and pre-positioning inventory usually carry large costs due to the haste of the situation in the first or the extensive administration in the latter. This work analyzes supplier selection tools proposed in the literature and focuses primarily on the final decision stage where an organization optimizes the purchase of items from a supplier base.
