Abstract

In view of the delivery and distribution of emergency supplies such as vaccine and medication for disaster area of Ebola, an efficient delivery system has been proposed in this paper. Taking into account that there are only several country such as the U.S., Canada, Britain et al. can produce vaccine and drug for Ebola, the delivery system is divided into three level: world level, country level and city level. Then, the delivery rules of each level and model theory has been illustrate. By developing an equivalent distance model, which integrate the influence of city and disease factors, the distribution center in country level is determined. For an accurate result, Analytic Hierarchy Process method and Entropy method are employed to calculate weights of the equivalent distance.
