Douglas Thomas, Juan Fung
Power outages in the U.S. affect many firms' economic activity and are likely to result in downstream supply chain disruptions. This paper examines the impact of power disturbances in the supply chain for four industries: manufacturing, durable goods

Enabling Traceability in Agri-Food Supply Chains Using an Ontological Approach

March 25, 2022
Author(s)
Farhad Ameri, Evan K. Wallace, Reid Yoder, Frank H. Riddick
Traceability of food products to their sources is critical for quick responses to food emergencies. US law now requires stakeholders in the agri-food supply chain to support traceability by tracking food materials they acquire and sell. However, having the
