Abstract

Despite the critical importance of emergency exercises for emergency preparedness, there are major deficiencies in some organizations in managing their exercises. Lack of a comprehensive and systematic approach to emergency exercises can waste organizational resources and diminish the response confidence. The present study was conducted to identify and prioritize influencing success factors for planning, implementing, and improving the exercise process. In this study, a pattern for exercise management process was established based on relevant standards and guidelines. Then, the success and failure factors for each step of a typical exercise were identified based on previous studies. Finally, Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process was used to prioritize the identified influencing factors. Based on literature review and experts' opinions, 28 factors influence the success of emergency exercises. Although relative importance of all factors was close to each other, findings showed that "establishing the base of support for an exercise program," "designing the scenario," "presentations/briefings," "using expert evaluators," and "defining appropriate corrective actions plan" had the greatest impacts on the success of an emergency exercise.

影响成功规划、实施和改进应急演习的因素。
尽管应急演习对应急准备至关重要,但一些组织在管理演习方面存在重大缺陷。缺乏全面和系统的应急演习方法会浪费组织资源,削弱反应信心。本研究的目的是确定并优先考虑影响锻炼过程计划、实施和改进的成功因素。本研究以相关标准和指南为基础,建立运动管理流程模式。然后,在前人研究的基础上,确定了典型练习中每个步骤的成功因素和失败因素。最后,采用模糊层次分析法对确定的影响因素进行排序。通过文献综述和专家意见,总结了影响应急演练成功的28个因素。尽管所有因素的相对重要性彼此接近,但研究结果表明,“建立支持演习计划的基础”、“设计方案”、“演示/简报”、“使用专家评估人员”和“确定适当的纠正行动计划”对应急演习的成功影响最大。
