Logistics operational interdependencies for food supply chain resilience

Abstract

Using a multiple case study approach, this study has investigated operational interdependences of the underlining factors of logistics with food supply chain resilience capabilities in developing economies. Logistics plays a vital role in overall supply chain resilience during the disaster management cycle. In particular, transportation, storage and inventory management are the most critical areas of logistics that need to be fine-tuned in order to quickly and efficiently respond to natural disasters.
