CSR

Objectives of the project:

The objective of this project is to

1. Plan for India - Set a target of vaccinating Indian citizens at different cities in India within a time frame, and understand what could be the optimal design of the vaccine supply chain starting from its production to final vaccine shot to a citizen considering the constraints on the raw material supplier, production capacity, inventory storage etc. with vaccines currently available in India.
2. Plan for India and abroad - Considering the additional target of providing help to global citizens outside India, how a supply chain can be designed to meet the global need with licenses of producing other vaccines also in India.
3. Handling Uncertainty in the model - Considering many of the parameters of the models uncertain, e.g. raw material cost, supply, how to design an agile supply chain which can act to such uncertain scenarios.
