Weak link in the chain

Press/Media: Research

Description

Food companies usually deliver their fresh quality product on time to their customers. But sometimes a hitch occurs, which changes the generally quite lean and efficient food supply system into a vulnerable one. PhD student Jelena Vlajic developed a vulnerability assessment model to cope with these disturbances and make more robust food chains.
