Abstract: The characteristics of major public health emergency, such as high uncertainty, high response requirements, high material demands, long duration and wide coverage, have sharply magnified their destruction to the economic and social operations, and posed great challenges to the theories and practices of supply chain management of the guarantee of the emergency supplies. Taking the multi-organizational collaboration and multi-stage operation of emergency material guarantee as the starting point, this paper sorts out, analyzes, and summarizes the research subjects, issues, methods, outcomes and insufficiencies related to emergency material guarantee from the levels of logistics and production capacity planning before disasters and the production and operation optimization during disasters. Then, faced with the characteristics and challenges of emergency supplies guarantee for major epidemics, it proposes some countermeasures and suggestions, including an emergency facility layout planning based on multi-organizational coordination, an emergency supply chain planning based on flexible production capacity strategy, an emergency supplies scheduling model and strategy design based on multi-organizational intelligent coordination, and a planning model design for supply chain emergency production based on the epidemic model.

Key words: emergency supplies, major epidemics, key issues, countermeasures researches
