Abstract:

Collaborating with local enterprises to reserve emergency supplies can help local governments quickly meet the emergency material demand in post-disaster phase. In order to meet the surging demand and avoid supply disruption, the government authority needs to cooperate with multiple suppliers. In this situation, the enterprises will make the cooperation decision based on whether the reserved materials can be sold when disaster happens and how much the government authority will pay for it. In this regard, emergency material supply agreement cooperation based on quantity flexibility contract is built among one government authority and multiple local enterprises with considering the quantity of sold materials being determined by the reliability of the local enterprises and the government’s procurement sequence. The impact of the government’s procurement pricing decisions on the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the government-enterprise agreement cooperation are analyzed.

Based on the analytical results and numerical simulation results, it is found that when the reliability of the enterprises are the same, it is better for the government authority to equally assign the emergency material procurement quantity. When the reliability are different, with the increase of the government’s regular procurement quantity, the government’s flexibility procurement pricing level will increase and the quantity of the materials reserved by each agreement enterprise decreases. However, the benefits of the agreement enterprises will show diverse trends. It theoretically enriches the research studies on emergency material procurement management problem in this paper. Practically, managerial insights and decision reference are provided for the government authority to cooperate with local enterprises to improve the material supply capability and emergency response capability.
