Brazos Valley Food Bank: Is Equitable Distribution Truly Possible?
內容大綱
In 2019, the Brazos Valley Food Bank (BVFB) in Texas increased its distribution and food-storage capacity and was delivering food to food-insecure people in six nearby counties through its partner agencies. While the number of food-insecure people in each of these counties was relatively stable, the food distribution capacities of BVFB’s partner agencies and the food supply fluctuated. As a non-profit organization, BVFB needed to equitably distribute food across all the counties it served, but it first needed to decide how to define “equitable food distribution.” Which parameters, food needs, or costs should it use to calculate this? How could it ensure that its food distribution did not favour one county over another? Was equitable food distribution achievable for BVFB at all?

The case can be used in analytics, supply chain management, and non-profit management courses and modules at the undergraduate and graduate levels. This case study looks into equitable distribution, a complex and necessary part of many non-profit and humanitarian supply chains. After working through the case and assignment questions, students will be able to:<ul><li>discuss the meaning of equitable distribution in a non-profit setting;</li><li>develop strategies that enable non-profit organizations (food banks) to measure equitable distribution;</li><li>understand the data collecting and processing requirements that allow non-profit organizations to manage operations and systems efficiently;</li><li>develop appropriate key performance indicators for managing a non-profit supply chain; and</li><li>understand the use of descriptive and prescriptive analytics on non-profit data.</li></ul>
