Abstract
Emergency logistics network design is extremely important when responding to an unexpected epidemic pandemic. In this study, we propose an improved location-allocation model with an emphasis on maximizing the emergency service level (ESL). We formulate the problem to be a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model (MINLP) and develop an effective algorithm to solve the model. The numerical test shows that our model can provide tangible recommendations for controlling an unexpected epidemic.
