This research was conducted through the University of Tennessee's Advanced Supply Chain Collaborative (ASCC). ASCC works as a collaborative think tank, bringing together industry leaders and faculty experts to explore advanced concepts in supply chain management. The project was conducted over two years (2020–2022).
