Using Supply Chain Modeling and Simulation for Disaster Response Mission & Operations Planning (M&OP)

Transportation Research Board Annual Conference 2017 - Session Nbr: P17-20648

Sponsored by:

• Standing Committee on the Logistics of Disaster Response (ABR20)

• Standing Committee on Military Transportation (ATO35)

• Standing Committee on Emergency Evacuations (ABR30)


Model and Simulate any Supply Chain with Four Entities

• Define different combinations of products, facilities, vehicles and routes

• Place them on a map to create different supply chain models

Local Aid Station

Warehouse

Pre-positioned Products

Plans (Run Simulations)

5.Implement

and Monitor (Evaluate Options)

Every 15 days (or as needed)

Demand Plan:- Product specs - Facility demands

Supply Plan: - Vehicle specs- Delivery Routes

Logistics Plan: Effective logistics plan for 15+ days

• Based on supply chain S&OP process modified to fit needs of humanitarian / disaster response missions

• CONOPS drives demand and supply planning

• Supply chain simulations show how well these plans work

• Use simulation results to adjust Supply Plan and Demand Plan so product supply meets mission demand

CONOPS:- Scope/Facilities - Personnel

Operating Cost:Operating budget and performance metrics

(Products, Facilities) (Vehicles, Routes)

SIMPLE 5-STEP PROCESS: Mission & Operations Planning

Supply Chain Modeling & Simulation

Disaster response supply chain shown in this presentation is from Nepal Earthquake in 2015


STEP 1. Mission Orders: Concept of Operations (CONOPS)

CONOPS shows:

• Which global logistics depots will send aid supplies to disaster area

• Initial number and locations of aid facilities in disaster area

• Organizations and number of personnel participating in the mission


STEP 2: Demand Planning: PRODUCTS and FACILITIES

• Finalize locations and specifications for facilities

• Assign activities and personnel to each facility

• Define demand for products at each facility

Zoom in and switch to satellite view to see actual facility and surrounding terrain and roads

Use map view to see locations for in country facilities and distances between facilities


STEP 2: Demand Planning: PRODUCTS – Data Needed

Ten Product Categories for Aid Supplies:• Camp Management• Construction• Education• Food • Health

• Logistics• Operations Support• Protection• Shelter• Wash

PRODUCT Name Price Weight (kg)

Size (m3)

Define product data at the pallet quantity level

Camp Mgmt

Construction

etc.

Define aid supply product categories needed for this disaster response


STEP 2. Demand Planning : FACILITIES – Data Needed

FACILITY Name Type Storage Rent Ops Cost

Define data for each facility

Kathmandu

Babare

etc.

FACILITY -PRODUCTS

Product Name

Demand Production On-Hand

Define for each product at each facility

Construction

Food

etc.

• Kathmandu DC – 80 aid workers plus 1,000 - 2,000 refugees per day

• Babare Warehouse – 50 aid workers plus 1,000 - 2,000 refugees per day

• Charikot Warehouse – 60 aid workers plus 1,000 to 2,000 refugees per day

• Deurali Warehouse – 150 aid workers plus 3,000 - 6,000 refugees per day

• Dhading Warehouse – 65 aid workers plus 2,000 - 4,000 refugees per day

Define facilities and demand for products at each facility


STEP 3. Supply Planning : VEHICLES and ROUTES

• Decide how to use available vehicles to move products between facilities

• Define delivery schedules and routes for vehicles serving each facility


STEP 3. Supply Planning : VEHICLES – Data Needed

Civilian Vehicles:• Large Trucks • Medium Truck • Buses • Railroad Freight Containers • Air Freight Container• Other…

Military Vehicles:• Medium Truck• Tanker Truck• Black Hawk Helicopter• C-130 Transport Aircraft• Other…

VEHICLE Name Type Carry Volume

Max Weight

Speed Ops Cost per km

Delay -Depart

Define data for each vehicle

Large Trucks

Railroad Freight Ctr

etc.

Define vehicles used for delivering products to facilities


STEP 3. Supply Planning: ROUTES – Data Needed

ROUTE - PRODUCT Name Facility/Stop Drop Qty Pickup Qty

Define product drop qty for each product at each facility on a route

Food Babare

Shelter Charikot

etc.

ROUTE Name Vehicle Distance Time

Define vehicle routes (each vehicle has one or more routes)

Kath – Babare Helicopters (calculated) (calculated)

Kath - Charikot Trucks - 20 (calculated) (calculated)

etc.

Delivery Routes and Vehicles:• Kuala Lumpur – Kathmandu (air freight)• Kuala Lumpur – Kolkata (ocean freight) • Kolkata – Kathmandu (large trucks) • Brindisi – Kathmandu (air freight) • Shanghai – Kathmandu (air freight)

• Kathmandu – Babare (helicopters)• Kathmandu – Charikot (trucks)• Kathmandu – Deurali (trucks)• Kathmandu – Dhading (trucks and helos)

Define vehicle delivery routes and products to drop off and pick up at each facility


STEP 4. Reconcile Plans: Build Supply Chain Model

• Demand Plan provides data for: 1) PRODUCTS; 2) FACILITIES and product demand

• Supply Plan provides data for: 3) VEHICLES; and 4) ROUTES and product delivery qty

• Use this data to build initial supply chain model for disaster response mission


STEP 4. Reconcile Plans: Run Simulations – Fix Problems

• Simulate operations of the supply chain to find and fix points of failure

• Explore different options, make adjustments so supply chain runs for 15+ days

• Supply chain model that works best in simulations becomes operating plan


STEP 5: Implement and Monitor: Collaboration

• Cloud-based collaboration platform accessible to all (PCs, laptops, Internet)

• Real-time visibility of problems as they arise, drives consensus and effective action

• Data collection from participant organization computer systems and mobile devices

• Map-based user interface to organize streams of data - Situational Awareness


STEP 5. Implement and Monitor: Operations

Monitor events and update supply chain model based on new data from field operations

Continue planning and simulating responses to new situations as mission unfolds (back to STEP 1)
