Abstract

The efficiency of emergency response operations is critically dependent on the strategic storage and allocation of emergency supplies. Proper management of these resources reduces economic impacts and ensures prompt availability in crises. This study addresses the challenges and existing practices in emergency reserve warehousing, with a specific focus on a Fangshan District case study. It introduces optimized storage strategies and principles for storage location assignment, taking into account both planar and three-dimensional storage configurations. The study employs two pallet types to establish basic assumptions and formulates two models: one for standard pallets in three-dimensional storage and another for special pallets in planar storage, including scenarios for their combined usage. Utilizing an advanced non-dominated genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) with an elite strategy, the study conducts simulations and analyses of these models under various scenarios. The findings indicate that the application of the second scenario significantly improves storage location optimization in emergency reserve warehouses.
