“…Kumar et al (2020) described several simulation techniques that address uncertainty in the complex nature of the problem. Therefore, Any Logistix software has been utilised to simulate the proposed model for capturing supply chain disruptions (Timperio et al 2019;Kinra et al 2019). Simulation of the designed problem was run for a period of six months by varying scenarios.…”

An outbreak of deadly COVID-19 virus has not only taken the lives of people but also severely crippled the economy. Due to strict lockdown, the manufacturing and logistics activities have been suspended, and it has affected the demand and supply of various products as a result of restrictions imposed on shopkeepers and retailers. Impacts of COVID-19 are observed ubiquitously in every type of units from different sectors. In this study, a simulation model of the public distribution system (PDS) network is developed with three different scenarios to demonstrate disruptions in the food supply chain. Difficulties have been increased in matching supply and demand in a vast network of PDS because of changing scenarios with the growth of infected cases and recovery. This paper also highlights the importance of a resilient supply chain during a pandemic. Our proposed simulation model can help in developing a resilient and responsive food supply chain to match the varying demand, and then further assist in providing decision-making support for rerouting the vehicles as per travel restrictions in areas. Paper has been summarised with significant highlights and including future research scope for developing a more robust food supply chain network.

There are many checklists for improving supply chain resilience under different threats, but a lack of concrete procedures to rigorously assess and select among countermeasures (CMs). We present a novel process and method to elicit the needed information to identify CMs and assess their ability to reduce risk. We report on the fine-grained analysis underlying an effective simulation developed to model both the impact of threats and the impact of alternative CMs in the information and communication technology supply chain subject to disruptions due to natural hazards. We also describe the coarse-grained descriptions needed to elicit risk reduction estimates from subject matter experts, and the problems of integrating these two approaches, bottom up, and top down, to support management decisions to choose an optimal set of CMs given a limited budget.

“…In a few cases, the goal has also been to maximize the profit across the distribution network. We also came across several variations of DND problems, which includes determination of optimal location and allocation in the SCN along with vehicle routing (Lee et al., 2010), development of the SCN simultaneously accounting for both minimizing cost and maximizing reliability (Yildiz et al., 2016), development of decision support for DND for minimizing cost without compromising with service level through optimal allocation, and utilization of storage and transportation assets (Timperio et al., 2020).…”

“…The concept of DND originated in the context of a commercial supply chain. Literature is replete with several studies on DND in commercial supply chains (Ambrosino and Grazia Scutella, 2005; Mangiaracina et al., 2015; Yildiz et al., 2016; Liu et al., 2019; Timperio et al., 2020). The performance of a distribution network is evaluated along two dimensions, cost and service (Chopra, 2003).…”

The present work has been carried out to develop a performance evaluation framework of distribution network design in public health with specific reference to essential medicines based on six different types of public health distribution networks (PHDNs) prevalent across six Indian states. We evaluated the performance of PHDNs on the criteria of cost and service and also on the sub-criteria of cost and service by following the analytic hierarchy process. We utilized the pairwise comparison method in determining the relative importance of criteria and sub-criteria by seeking responses from several experts and subsequently evaluated the PHDNs on all sub-criteria in a 7-point Likert scale by seeking views from the same experts. Finally, we developed the "cost-service matrix," in which cost and service have been depicted in the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively. We demonstrated the performance of six PHDNs in this matrix in terms of cost and service by plotting scores obtained by them on cost and service, respectively. The findings of the study provide rich insights to the policy planners of public health.
