Abstract

This paper establishes a simulation decision system for both emergency resource preparation and emergency resource replenishment. The decision system uses both system dynamics and goal programming. A system dynamics model is then developed and validated with real case data as simulation decision support to emergency resource replenishment. An optimization simulation using the data from the emergency resource preparation process in the Ya'an earthquake in China is reported. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
