2. Value

Value means to have the best possible synergy of effectiveness and efficiency to provide the most responsive support for the least cost.

3. Velocity

Velocity is the speed at which requirements are fulfilled by the distribution system. Synchronizing the velocities of the various global distribution aspects maximizes total system effectiveness.

4. Visibility

Visibility is required to have the accurate and timely monitoring and managing of flow by all parties. Supply chain visibility applications enable the management to extract data from multiple platforms and applications and share that up and down the supply chain. It allows the distribution managers to optimize the distribution capacity to anticipate logistic bottlenecks, disruption, and changes in the distribution operational scheme.

II. Supply Chain Model

In this section, we would identify the supply chain (Relief chain - Appendix 1) that would address the above requirements. Stated below is a framework based on supply and demand conditions.
