Abstract: The paper was aimed at solving the problem about locating emergency supplies repositories under uncertain demand condition. The uncertain demands were predicted by using the interval grey number method based on connection number. Then an emergency supplies repository locating model was built, in which multi-objective optimization was considered for the shortest response time, maximum coverage, and minimum cost.The model was solved by the improved NSGA-II method to find the Pareto optimal solutions. The result shows that by using the model, an optimal solution set can be selected from many candidate inventories.

Key words: relief supplies repository, location, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II), multi-objective optimization, uncertain demand
