Abstract EN
The effectiveness of military supply chain networks is an important reference for logistics decision-making, and it is crucial to evaluate it scientifically and accurately.
This paper highlights the problem from the perspective of dynamic and discrete networks.
A topological structure model with the characteristics of dynamic and discreteness is used to describe the structure of military supply chain networks (MSCNs).
In order to provide a platform for evaluating the effectiveness, simulation algorithms based on topological structure models for MSCNs are presented.
Considering military and economic factors, evaluation metrics including supply capability and supply efficiency are proposed.
By applying the model and algorithms to a POL supply network in a theater, we obtain the values of supply capability and efficiency metrics in a dynamic environment.
We also identify an optimal solution from multiple feasible solutions to help decision-makers to make scientific and rational decisions by using exploratory analysis method.
The results show that new evaluation metrics can capture important effectiveness requirements for military supply networks positively.
We also find the proposed method in this paper can solve the problem of evaluating the effectiveness of dynamic and discrete network effectiveness evaluation in a feasible and effective manner.
