#77 Using R for Rice Supply Chain Optimization (for the IATF-FVC Committee)

Returning RUG old-timer and one of our suki speakers in the past, Prof. Rex Jalao will share with us what he had been busy with during this pandemic (aside from taking care of his newborn baby - yay, congrats to the new Dad!). He will discuss his study on balancing rice demand and supply logistics, working with the UP Diliman Task Force on Supply Chain, under the IATF Sub Committee on Food Value Chain.

We will also know about the rice supply and demand estimation model, a study made by UP Stat Professor and member of same IATF Sub Committee, Prof. Francisco "Kikko" delos Reyes. We'd be honored to have Prof. Kikko join us again, even for "moral support" to Rex as he discusses the study :)

Prof. Rex is currently the Program Director for UP NEC Analytics Training, and still teaches Industrial Engineering in UP Diliman.
