Abstract

During disaster, various organizations such as Red Cross or Red Crescent are often engaged with significant problems regarding to supply chain management. Sustainable supply chain management is defined as a collaboration between partners along supply chain to manage materials, information and capital flow for an achievement of sustainability along with environmental, economic and social dimensions. The aim of this paper is to develop a new framework for identifying the effect of sustainability concept on supply chain during emergency condition. Having a meticulous and thorough approach in this stage during the system averts technical and financial issues during the engagement with emergency condition and operational stages. In this paper, a VIKOR approach is utilized to find the best compromise solution. The most appropriate path way to improve the supply chain management towards sustainability regarding to ICS in emergency management was identified.
