“…These articles broadly focus on two major areas: (1) allocating resources to increase supply chain capabilities during large-scale disruptions; and (2) redesigning logistics and supply chain networks to reduce vulnerability. In the first area, articles have highlighted resource shortages as a major obstacle during an epidemic ( Enayati and Özaltın, 2020 , Liu et al, 2020 , Parvin et al, 2018 , Rachaniotis et al, 2012 , Savachkin and Uribe, 2012 , Sun et al, 2014 ). Consequently, these studies offered various strategies for allocating minimal or further resources, such as controlling transportation costs and equitable policies ( Savachkin and Uribe, 2012 ); undertaking threshold policy for inventory balancing; optimal area-based trans-shipment policy and planning horizon ( Parvin et al, 2018 ); increasing capacity to manage disruptions ( Hessel, 2009 , Sun et al, 2014 ); implementing cost-sharing contracts ( Mamani et al, 2013 ) or coordinating contracts ( Chick et al, 2008 ); and appropriate capacity setting and the minimum budget ( Liu et al, 2020 ).…”

The global spread of the novel coronavirus, also known as the COVID-19 pandemic, has had a devastating impact on supply chains. Since the pandemic started, scholars have been researching and publishing their studies on the various supply-chain-related issues raised by COVID-19. However, while the number of articles on this subject has been steadily increasing, due to the absence of any systematic literature reviews, it remains unclear what aspects of this disruption have already been studied and what aspects still need to be investigated. The present study systematically reviews existing research on the COVID-19 pandemic in supply chain disciplines. Through a rigorous and systematic search, we identify 74 relevant articles published on or before 28 September 2020. The synthesis of the findings reveals that four broad themes recur in the published work: namely, impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, resilience strategies for managing impacts and recovery, the role of technology in implementing resilience strategies, and supply chain sustainability in the light of the pandemic. Alongside the synthesis of the findings, this study describes the methodologies, context, and theories used in each piece of research. Our analysis reveals that there is a lack of empirically designed and theoretically grounded studies in this area; hence, the generalizability of the findings, thus far, is limited. Moreover, the analysis reveals that most studies have focused on supply chains for high-demand essential goods and healthcare products, while low-demand items and SMEs have been largely ignored. We also review the literature on prior epidemic outbreaks and other disruptions in supply chain disciplines. By considering the findings of these articles alongside research on the COVID-19 pandemic, this study offers research questions and directions for further investigation. These directions can guide scholars in designing and conducting impactful research in the field.

“…The authors find that their model is valid and propose that more resources should be allocated to treatment and "isolation". After that, Liu et al (2020) modify the model by Büyüktahtakin et al (2018) by changing the capacity constraint and the authors actually explore a very similar problem.…”

COVID-19 is affecting all walks of life. To deal with it, we need to make use of scientifically sound tools and models. Operations research (OR), as a well-established field which focuses on deploying analytical tools to solving decision making problems, comes to the rescue. In this paper, by examining the OR literature and practices related to pandemics (including COVID-19), we discuss what OR can help to tackle challenges under COVID-19. We classify the literature into three stages, namely "before pandemic", "during pandemic" and "after pandemic". We examine the related literature and reveal the respective research areas and OR methods employed. Then, we propose a future research agenda. Finally, we establish the sense-and-respond OR framework regarding what specific actions should be taken to cope with COVID-19 from the perspectives of governments, healthcare and non-profit-making organizations, and businesses. We believe that the findings of this paper lay the solid foundation to stimulate further OR studies to combat COVID-19.

“…They validated the performance of the model using the case of the 2014–2015 Ebola outbreak in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. When considering that different diseases have dissimilar diffusion dynamics and can cause different public health emergencies, Liu et al [ 21 ] modified that model by changing capacity constraint, and then applied it to control the 2009 H1N1 outbreak in China. Syahrir et al [ 22 ] used the SEIR model to predict the amount of drug supplies in hospitals during the outbreak of dengue fever, in order to manage and determine the satisfactory amount of drug supplies in the hospital to handle patients who are indicated and infected with dengue quickly and precisely.…”

Multi-Objective Optimization of Integrated Civilian-Military Scheduling of Medical Supplies for Epidemic Prevention and Control

In a large-scale epidemic, such as the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19), there is huge demand for a variety of medical supplies, such as medical masks, ventilators, and sickbeds. Resources from civilian medical services are often not sufficient for fully satisfying all of these demands. Resources from military medical services, which are normally reserved for military use, can be an effective supplement to these demands. In this paper, we formulate a problem of integrated civilian-military scheduling of medical supplies for epidemic prevention and control, the aim of which is to simultaneously maximize the overall satisfaction rate of the medical supplies and minimize the total scheduling cost, while keeping a minimum ratio of medical supplies reservation for military use. We propose a multi-objective water wave optimization (WWO) algorithm in order to efficiently solve this problem. Computational results on a set of problem instances constructed based on real COVID-19 data demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
