“…The lack of real demand data indicates the incapability of the current system to recognize the target population and, thus, its impacts over nutrition indicators in the country. This weakness could be partially solved through the design of tracking and traceability systems (Rueda-Velasco et al, 2019).…”

The evaluation of the strategic supply chain configuration is considered one of the strategic logistics decisions, especially in food assistance supply chains focused on generating better nutritional conditions in vulnerable populations. In Colombia, there is a social program called Bienestarina, which aims to promote food and nutritional security in a vulnerable population. Although the government supports the program for improving nutritional support, there are currently inconsistencies in freight flows, lack of coverage in some areas, and delivery delays. Therefore, this work aims to evaluate the current configuration of the supply chain and propose improvements related to the facility location. Such advances would enable the increase in the efficacy of the network and the reduction of malnutrition in the country. For this purpose, a mixed-integer mathematical programming model is presented, which considers the weighted distance criterion for different demand scenarios and supports the location-allocation decision in a social assistance supply chain. The current network configuration was compared with the optimal proposed structure. The comparisons show highly potential improvements in freight flow allocation, suggests several variations in the existing warehouses emplacement, and generates public policy implications to reduce the logistic cost in the system, prioritizing in turn the demand covering.

“…The efficiency of the supply chain is affected due to the lack of information exchange and tracking (Gonzalez-Feliu et al, 2018). To overcome this traceability, supply chain digitization can play a significant role (Rueda-Velasco et al, 2019). Thus, today's customer-driven industry needs a robust traceability system that ensures customer trust and loyalty to the product quality (Kittipanya-Ngam and Tan, 2020).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to find the impact of blockchain supply chain on supply chain performance with a mediating role of supplier trust, traceability and transparency.Design/methodology/approachData was collected using the purposive sampling technique on a five-point Likert scale from 150 respondents. For data analysis, IBM SPSS and Smart PLS 3.3.7 were used to test the hypotheses by evaluating the structural equation modeling.FindingsThe blockchain supply chain found a significant effect on supply chain performance. Moreover, there is a substantial effect of the blockchain supply chain on supply chain performance via mediators, including supplier trust, supply chain traceability and supply chain transparency. Further, the mediation type of all mediators was full mediation in the relationships between blockchain supply chain and supply chain performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe research findings are helpful for industrialists, supply chain practitioners and policymakers. The practitioners can adopt blockchain technology to enhance inter-organizational collaboration, develop trust, data visibility and traceability, and critical decisions, ultimately bringing sustainable growth for the firm.Originality/valueThe outcomes of this research enrich the literature and share the impact of one of the most trending technologies in the supply chain perspective. Future research can empirically test the relationship between blockchain and supply chain sustainability.

Contexto: Los programas de asistencia alimentaria (PAA) producen y distribuyen alimentos o complementos nutricionales para la reducción de la desnutrición en población vulnerable. En ellos, el sistema de distribución del PAA permite conectar la oferta de asistencia con la población objetivo. Esta investigación busca explorar las relaciones y la articulación entre los elementos del sistema de distribución y la eficacia de un PAA altamente ligado a la población infantil, denominado “Bienestarina Más®” en Colombia. Método: La relación entre la eficacia del programa y el sistema de distribución se realiza triangulando datos reales de las entregas del PAA y estadísticas poblacionales oficiales. A su vez, las capacidades de los sistemas de información usados para la distribución son contrastadas con el alcance del sistema, usando fuentes oficiales y manuales de usuario. Resultados: El análisis muestra potencial de mejora en la cobertura de la región suroccidental del país, brechas entre la oferta y la demanda, en especial ante el análisis desagregado de datos, flujos de carga poco coherentes y diferencias entre el alcance del PAA y el alcance de los sistemas de acceso al programa y trazabilidad de la carga. Conclusiones: Este artículo muestra cómo fallas en la articulación entre los procedimientos de acceso, los perfiles sociales de la población, las asignaciones de los flujos de carga y las tecnologías de la información para el reconocimiento del usuario y el seguimiento de la carga pueden afectar la eficacia en la atención a la población infantil.
