本研究提出一个随机规划模型，以确定供应应如何定位和分配之间的网络合作仓库。该模型结合了约束，强制执行公平的服务，同时也考虑到可能的疏散行为和时间限制，提供有效的响应造成的交通拥堵。我们利用短期信息（例如，飓风预报），以便更有效地预先放置用品，为业务一级的分发做好准备。通过广泛的计算研究，我们的特征条件下，前置是有益的，以及讨论网络内的库存布局，容量和协调之间的关系。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
This research proposes a stochastic programming model to determine how supplies should be positioned and distributed among a network of cooperative warehouses. The model incorporates constraints that enforce equity in service while also considering traffic congestion resulting from possible evacuation behavior and time constraints for providing effective response. We make use of short-term information (e.g., hurricane forecasts) to more effectively preposition supplies in preparation for their distribution at an operational level. Through an extensive computational study, we characterize the conditions under which prepositioning is beneficial, as well as discuss the relationship between inventory placement, capacity and coordination within the network.
