The most important features of this book include: Firstly, to achieve fairness and accuracy of material distribution during the epidemic, this book constructs a material shortage adjustment function. Secondly, from the comprehensive perspective of cross-regional coordination, multi-organization coordination and multiperiod coordination, the operation optimization models of emergency material supply in major epidemic situation are constructed. Additionally, the comparative analysis and empirical research of the practices in China and Germany also reflects the novelty and benefit of the book.
