description Scientific support depot location and reasonable spare parts transportation are the keys to improving the support level of complex systems. The current equipment support system has the problems of chaotic warehouse layout and low efficiency of spare parts. The reliability and completeness of spare parts’ historical data are hard to believe. In order to deal with the cognitive uncertainty caused by the asymmetry of data, this paper adopts the uncertainty theory to optimize the depot location and transportation volume. Under the constraints of shortage rate, supply availability, average logistic delay time, and inventory limit, the uncertain chance-constrained model of equipment supporting depot is established. The optimization model is transformed into a deterministic model by using the inverse uncertainty distribution. The genetic algorithm is used to optimize the solution of this model. Finally, the practicability and operability of the model method are verified through the example analysis.
