Abstract :
The emergency logistics system plays an important role in fighting against diseases and natural disasters. Evaluation of the emergency logistics system provide a basis for system optimization. An evaluation model for emergency logistics system based on hierarchy gray method is presented, which can solve uncertainty and complexity problems of emergency logistics system evaluation. The model establishes an evaluation index system of emergency logistics system, determines the weights by analytic hierarchy process(AHP) method, and then, finishes the comprehensive evaluation by hierarchy gray method with improved triangular whitenization weight function. The disaster of Wenchuan earthquake is taken for example to show the practicability of this evaluation model.
