Here is what I’ve been reading about supply chains in the COVID19 era:
- Vox on food and meat supply chains
- Why there are toilet paper shortages
- The Society for Risk Analysis recorded a webinar called “COVID Conversations on Risk” (Ep 3) about food security
- The Washington Post on why meat supply chains are vulnerable to Covid-19 outbreaks: they are massive facilities with thousands of workers in close proximity
- Why you can expect shortages of pharmeceuticals but not toilet paper (nice job, Anna Nagurney)
- On personal protective equipment (PPE) supply chains
- Read about the origins of the Strategic National Stockpile
- CDC guidance for optimizing supply chains
- The Washington Post reports on a factory that produces a chemical used in PPE
- The modern supply chain is snapping from The Atlantic. Note this came out a month ago.
- We need a stress test for critical supply chains (nice job David and Edith Simchi-Levi)
- And finally, Belgians are urged to eat French fries at least twice a week as changes in consumption during the pandemic lead to a massive potato surplus
