Therefore, it is of pivotal importance to speed up the preparation and scheduling process. In other words, only when the preparation process and scheduling process coordinate well, could the emergency supplies arrive at disaster area in time. Consequently, the purpose of this paper is to explore a method that can strengthen the coordination in various kinds of situations. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 The paper first elaborates the preparation and scheduling process of emergency supplies in disasters. Then, it establishes a workflow simulation system of the emergency supplies preparation and scheduling based on Petri Net. Afterward, the paper proposes a simplified simulation system of emergency supplies preparation and scheduling which can be employed in actual emergency response. Finally, the paper takes China Lushan Earthquake for a case study. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 By employing the simulation system proposed by this paper, decision makers can simulate the whole emergency supplies preparation and scheduling process, which can help them find a method that can optimize the current process. Specifically, by analyzing the simulation results, the government can obtain conclusions as follows. First, whether the preparation and scheduling process of emergency supplies can speed up or not. Second, which part of the process should be improved to realize the acceleration. Third, the workload of the staffs and experts. Fourth, whether it is necessary to add staffs or experts to work in parallel. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 This paper proposes a system that can coordinate the preparation process and scheduling process of emergency supplies in disaster.

The simulation results show that the system designed is reasonable and can be used in practical decision making on the preparation and scheduling of emergency supplies.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/k-11-2014-0248","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,25]],"date-time":"2015-03-25T07:38:40Z","timestamp":1427269120000},"page":"423-439","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Preparation and scheduling system of emergency supplies in disasters"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Liu","family":"Jia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xie","family":"Kefan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020122504563827800_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Arie, K.\n                and \n                  Yoram, R.\n                (2009), \u201cFrom DSM-based planning to design process simulation: a review of process scheme logic verification issues\u201d, \n                  IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management\n               , Vol. 56 No. 4, pp. 636-649.","DOI":"10.1109\/TEM.2009.2032032"},{"key":"key2020122504563827800_b2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cheng, F.F.\n               , \n                  Wang, Y.W.\n               , \n                  Ling, X.Z.\n                and \n                  Bai, Y.\n                (2010), \u201cA petri net simulation model for virtual construction of earthmoving operations\u201d, \n                  Automation in Construction\n               , Vol. 20 No. 2, pp. 181-188.","DOI":"10.1016\/j.autcon.2010.09.015"},{"key":"key2020122504563827800_b3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Chern, C.C.\n               , \n                  Chen, Y.L.\n                and \n                  Kung, L.C.\n                (2010), \u201cA heuristic relief transportation planning algorithm for emergency supply chain management\u201d, \n                  International Journal of Computer Mathematics\n               , Vol. 87 No. 7, pp. 1638-1664.","DOI":"10.1080\/00207160802441256"},{"key":"key2020122504563827800_b4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Dempster, A.P.\n                (1967), \u201cUpper and lower probabilities induced by a multivalued mapping\u201d, \n                  Annals of Mathematical Statistics\n               , Vol. 38 No. 2, pp. 325-339.","DOI":"10.1214\/aoms\/1177698950"},{"key":"key2020122504563827800_b5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Dempster, A.P.\n                (1968), \u201cGeneralization of bayesian inference\u201d, \n                  Journal of the Royal Statistical Society.
