Optimizing Supply Chain Capabilities to Distribute Relief Materials to Displaced People

Summary

Thank you for going through my mind map on optimizing supply chain capabilities to ensure adequate distribution of relief materials to displaced people. Our world will be a better place if we all care for one another. There are 38 million internally displaced persons globally. There are a lot of wastes, especially in developed nations - We can channel our resources by preventing food wastage and sharing from our earnings with those who are internally displaced. The amount of resources (food, sanitary materials, drugs) wasted daily is more than enough to cater for all the displaced people. Getting the "potential wastes" to the right people will be the supply chain challenge - and it all starts with demonstration of genuine kindness for one another. Looking forward to a better, brighter world as a result of redistribution of excess resources!

Good non-profit examples

Relief materials delivered with drones

Bill & Melinda Gates' Vaccine distribution

Displaced People

Political attacks

Genocide

Cultural intolerance

Religious ideology

Hositility

Acts of War

Resources for optimal supply chain

Distribution Centers: Central locations where relief materials can be stored

Collaboration: Public/Private partnership to ensure relief availability on time

Government Policies: Mandating a certain percentage of common wealth to be channeled towards supporting displaced people

Human Kindness: Genuine care & compassion for fellow humans in predicament

Donors: Resource availability on time by donors

NGOs: Not-for-profit concerns like Bill & Melinda Gates' Foundation

Human: Professionals from public/private sector

Transportation: Effective transportation system (drones, train, trucks, etc.)

Why relief materials don't get distributed effectively

Little / no supply chain capabilities

Volume available depends on funding, not consumption rate

Consumers don't dictate quantity to be supplied

Not profitable for businesses

No financial incetives

Optimal Supply Chain

Supply synchronized with demand

Products available on demand

Associated with for-profit capability
