The simulation of hospital supply in case of emergency deliveries

Abstract

Many threats threaten today's world. We can include cyber-attacks, terrorism, but also natural threats. These threats can cause a power outage. Besides, they may cause food and water supplies to be interrupted. Hospitals cannot afford these outages. Therefore, emergency supplies for hospitals are provided. Each hospital solves this supply individually. The aim of this article is to present a simulation of the logistics process from the point of supply to the hospital. The hospital and distribution warehouse of a selected company in the city Uherské Hradiště (Czech Republic) was selected for this simulation. The PTV Vissim software will be used for this simulation. © 2018 Kaunas University of Technology. All rights reserved.
