Food Supply Chain Disruptions: a Case Study of Public Distribution System
Frequent lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic have disrupted the Public Distribution System (provides necessary food, such as rice, wheat, sugar, etc., to low-income families at subsidized prices) and restricted food movement.
To overcome such challenges, NITIE (National Institute of Industrial Engineering) developed a simulation model to capture the dynamic behavior of the food grains supply chain incorporating characteristics of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This study aims to help policymakers and government agencies to mitigate the pandemic risk and provide some key recommendations to manage the pandemic.
Presentation agenda:
- Food grain supply chain network
- Key challenges faced by the Public Distribution System (PDS)
- Case study: the PDS network
- Simulation modeling and parameters
- Events occurred during the pandemic in the PDS network
- Experiment results and analysis
- Implications of the study
- Limitations and future research directions
- Q&A session.
