Given the increase of natural disasters, the community's need for health services has increased dramatically. Firstly, the condition of the injured people should be determined and then the treatment should be start, and in the event of increasing in the severity of the injured, these people should be transfer to the hospitals in the shortest possible time. On the other hand, another essential measure at the time of the accident is to send medicines and medical items at the appropriate time for treatment of injured. In this regard, we follow to design an emergency relief supply chain network including suppliers of medical items, treatment center, warehouses, and disaster points. Therefore, a location and inventory mathematical modeling is proposed to provide better services with the goal of minimizing the costs associated with locating and inventory of health systems. Thenو, to analyze and optimize the problem, proposed some numerical example and genetic algorithm.

In today's competitive markets quality as a competitive advantage is important, but quality always comes with price, so cost of quality recognition and proper division has always attracted attention of many researchers in the literature. The related literature show that from the time quality costing is introduced, all attentions were to identify the different costs of quality and sometimes there were different views to these costs which have similarities in the principle of classifications. Despite to successful reports provided for implementing these methods in identifying costs of quality, it can be seen a gap in improvement processes. Although the identification of costs and improvement projects in this field, often improve the level of products and service quality and ultimately lead to increased customer satisfaction, But certainly there is a significant difference between non-optimum and optimum resource allocation in receiving results. The aim of this study is to design an approach that reach to a certain quality level in a consistent and cost less way. In this approach, after identifying the types of quality costs, difference in importance of costs is determined. The first weight comes from financial results obtained from costs identification, indeed it is the proportion of the financial load of each cost to total quality costs. Stakeholder opinion based on BSC in second weight calculating process comes into AHP as expert group.
