Currently, the research of emergency supplies distribution and decision models mostly focus on deterministic models and exact algorithm. A few of studies have been done on the multi-level distribution network and matheuristic algorithm. In this paper, random processes theory is adopted to establish emergency supplies distribution and decision model for multi-level network. By analyzing the char...

Unexpected events require a lot of emergency supplies, such as severe natural disasters, public health emergencies, public safety incidents and military conflict. Materials for emergency and war constraints play a key role in the success or failure. In this paper, the collection and purchasing, storage and management, transportation and distribution of emergency supplies as three aspects of the...

Some important issues in the design of an efficient pharmaceutical supply chain involve deciding where to place the warehouses/inventories and how to route distribution vehicles. Solving appropriate facility location and vehicle routing problems can ensure the design of a logistic network capable of rapid distribution of medical supplies. In particular, both these problems must be solved in coo...

In order to achieve rapid and fair distribution of emergency supplies after a large-scale sudden disaster, this paper constructs comprehensive time perception satisfaction function material loss pain portray the perceived disaster victims based on objective constraints such as limited transport, multimodal transport supply being less than demand, at same considers subjective quantity under rati...

The COVID-19 virus spreads quickly and is highly contagious, the timeliness of emergency supplies extremely demanding, so adequate efficient have become a necessary prerequisite for strict prevention control during outbreak. However, available research results are still relatively few, using brain storm optimization algorithm to solve distribution problem blank. In order optimize system in cont...

The reasonable utilization of limited resources is critical to realize the sustainable developments. In the initial 72-h crucial rescue period after the disaster, emergency supplies have always been insufficient and the demands in the affected area have always been uncertain. In order to improve timeliness, utilization and sustainability of emergency service, the allocation of the emergency sup...

An efficient humanitarian inventory control model and emergency logistics system plays a crucial role in maintaining reliable flow of vital supplies to the victims located in the shelters and minimizing the impacts of the unforeseen disruptions that can occur. This system should not only allow the efficient usage and distribution of emergency supplies but should also offer the ability to be int...
