Supply Chain Resilience

Client: Murad Abdulla, IMC <murad.abdulla@imc.com>

Events such as the Covid pandemic and the Ukraine-Russia war highlight inefficiencies in global supply chains, affecting our everyday lives through energy prices, inflation, cost-of-living, unemployment and housing. This project will use publicly available datasets and APIs to build a comprehensive map investigating supply chain choices such as semiconductors for tech via China to the West, oil exports, agricultural product shipments etc. You will create metrics for supply chain efficiency and resilience, ranging from route stability to sensitivity to natural disasters. This visualisation should offer opportunities to optimise routes for delivery of different industrial products, contrasting and comparing CO2 emissions, cost, reliability, and robustness through diversity of supply options. It will be important to ensure that data is not biased, and that features are explainable, to support public accountability for decision makers.
