Emergency Supply Prepositioning Strategy (ESUPS) Case Study

To reduce gaps and overlaps in emergency preparedness, ESUPS promotes coordinated prepositioning of emergency supplies and collective logistics strategies.

Problem

This model used a scenario-based transportation linear programming model with a probabalistic objective to show how to allocated resources at minimal expcted cost. Several important metrics are then derived to inform decision making.

The goal is to decide:

How much of each supply to store in certain locations
And then how to respond to disaster events at minimal cost
