Objectives
The students will learn:

1. What is the state-of the-art in models and methods for determining strategic locations of resources urgently needed in emergency situations?
2. What is the state-of-the-art in models and methods for real-time operational planning of resources in emergency situations (dispatching, relocations).
3. How these models and methods are used in real-life practice.

Course description
In life-threatening emergency situations where every second counts, the timely presence of medical aid can make the difference between survival or death. In other emergency situations like machine breakdowns (of for example medical equipment), the timely presence of repairman not only saves cost but may also save lives. This raises the need for the development of models and methods to make sure that in emergency situation required resources are at the right time at the right place. Motivated by this, in the course the focus will be on developing and analyzing models for optimal resource planning, both at the strategic and at the operational level.
