Title: PLUMPY NUT (RUTF) Supply Chain ANALYSIS

PLUMPY NUT (RUTF)Supply Chain ANALYSIS
  • Jayashankar M. Swaminathan

Joint work with Wendell Gilland, Vidya Mani,
Corrina Moucheraud-Vickery and Anthony So
2
Increasing Demand for RUTF (Plumpy Nut)
  • The recent adoption of guidelines from WHO,
    WFP, UNSCN and UNICEF that endorse the
    introduction of these new products to reach
    severely malnourished children through
    community-based treatment approaches,
  • Rising food and fuel prices worldwide that are
    increasing food insecurity and, consequently,
    rates of malnutrition and
  • A myriad of local circumstancesin Kenya and
    Somalia these include flooding, droughts and
    civil unrestthat affect rates of malnutrition.

Supply Chain Challenges
  • Challenge 1 Inefficient flow of information and
    funds forces supply chain to be reactive, not
    proactive
  • Forecasts are inconsistent in methods and quality
  • Flow of money does not necessarily coincide with
    need
  • Causes ordering of RUTF to be uneven

6
Supply Chain Challenges
  • Challenge 2 Long lead times and high variability
    across the supply chain
  • Low production capacity, spikes in ordering and
    lumpy demand make it hard to achieve consistent
    lead times
  • Margin of error compounds at each delivery point
    in supply chain, making it difficult to project
    accurate lead times
  • High variability leads to low trust in the supply
    chain

7
Supply Chain Challenges
  • Challenge 3 Mismatch between ordering amount and
    actual need
  • Amounts ordered inconsistent with number of
    children served
  • Scarcity of supply, uncertainty in targeted
    arrival dates and limited fund flow make it hard
    for COs to rely on the supply chain ? May lead to
    orders being inflated.

8
Supply Chain Challenges
  • Challenge 4 Information systems and flows could
    be improved
  • Backward information flow, including information
    on handover and feedback on quality, is either
    unavailable or nontransparent
  • Exception handling capabilities not present
  • Information may be inconsistent

9
Supply Chain Challenges
  • Challenge 5 The future of RUTF demand is
    uncertain
  • RUTF demand will vary depending on level of long
    term success and with short term spikes in demand
    due to local crises.

10
Current and Future Work
  • Recommendation for changes in the current supply
    chain
  • Articulation guidelines and supply chain analysis
  • UNICEF Plumpy Nut Supply Chain case
  • Analytical models for strategies and insights
