Enhancing disaster management through multi-objective water wave optimization for medical supplies storage and distribution

This paper conducts a comparative analysis of advanced methodologies aimed at addressing the intricate task of scheduling medical supplies in both civilian and military sectors for epidemic prevention and control. This study introduces a multi-objective water wave optimization (MOWWO) algorithm and enhance its efficacy by incorporating a dynamically adjusted component to the metaheuristic approach (DAMOWWO). The primary goal of this research is to assess the proposed approach in contrast to established state of the art methods with similar objectives. The aim of this study is to optimize multiple aspects simultaneously, including the overall satisfaction rates of medical supply delivery and the reduction of scheduling costs, while ensuring a minimum military supply reservation ratio. This paper offers a comprehensive evaluation of the MOOW algorithm, emphasizing its potential applications in emergency response scenarios.
