Abstract

Specialized nutritious foods (SNF) are blended foods that contain a broad set of macro- and micro-nutrients to treat or prevent malnutrition. In this study, we consider the allocation of SNF from a central warehouse to distribution locations through (i) hubs that act as crossdocks, or (ii) district warehouses that hold stocks. Our models and solution approaches analyze the effects of network structure, uncertainty of demand, perishability, and equity considerations on the allocation structure.
