Evaluation on the Resilience of Emergency Supply Chain in Cities: A Case Study of Guangxi Province

Abstract

The world has suffered from frequent natural disasters and epidemics in recent years. Meanwhile, cities in areas with highly concentrated populations and social wealth have been greatly influenced. Researchers have paid more attention on emergency supply chain. The resilience of supply chain plays a key role on the effectiveness and stability of the supply chain. This paper establishes a set of emergency supply chain resilience evaluation for cities from three dimensions (i.e. adaptability, response and restoration). We take Guangxi province as an example, use entropy method to calculate the index weights and analyze the resilience of emergency supply chains in each city. And then we adopt cluster analysis to obtain their spatial differences.  Finally, we offer a management strategy related to the analysis results.
