Abstract

The world is facing an increasing frequency and intensity of disasters both natural and man-made that have devastating impact on life, livelihood and economy of the affected communities. In the context it is very important to plan for disaster response activities and preparedness to minimize the economic and human loss. In a post disaster situation various aid organizations and government agencies start supplying food, water, clothing, medicines and other emergency relief materials efficiently and quickly to maximize survival rate and continue normalcy. However, managing disaster response supply chain is not that straight forward. In most disasters, information is scarce (between the supplier and end users) and coordination rarely exists (Long & Wood, 1995) which creates disruption in flow of supply chain. Hence disaster response supply chain operates in a level of high uncertainty and is very different from what most supply chain managers perceive. This article describes the main characteristics of disaster response supply chain, particular issues faced by the managers and the opportunities on which the future strategy could be capitalized. It also suggests a model that captures the interaction between different components of supply chain and controls the flow of the commodities from the source through the chain to reach the end users.

Abstract

The study provides empirical evidence of the importance of various vertical coordination variables needed for the effective implementation of vertically coordinated supply chain approach in vegetable industry for the measurement of efficient accessibility of vertical coordination effect benefits. Survey methodology has been used to collect data. Neural network model has been used to know the importance of vertical coordination variables as well the relation of vertical coordination variables with the vertical coordination effect variables. This study contributes to the literature by exploring the importance of various variables extracted from literatures which is applied specific five vegetables namely potato, brinjal, cabbage, cauliflower and okra. The participants involved in study are producers only and limited to the Odisha. Findings have very clearly mentioned the importance of variables. Further this can get used by the govt. organizations for policy formulation as well for the decision process in providing the input facility support. The outcome can be beneficial to other vegetable supply chain participants like intermediaries and entrepreneurs engaged in value addition and processing of vegetables. This study is one step further contribution to the body of knowledge on vegetable supply chain vertical coordination approach.
