In the context of a public health crisis, the “where” is just as important as the “what”—infrastructure location can be the difference between a contained outbreak and a systemic collapse.
Strengthening our ongoing partnership with National University of Singapore NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine Centre for Infectious Disease Emergency Response (CIDER), Dr. Giuseppe Timperio, Ph.D. from The Logistics Institute – Asia Pacific was invited to conduct a lecture session for the IDE5004 module on 20th April 2026.
His session on ‘Choosing Sites for Infrastructure’ equipped MSc IDE students with the analytical frameworks needed to apply data-driven logistics to high-stakes emergency response where the students engaged in a hands-on activity using anyLogistix, focusing on Green Field Analysis (GFA) in an infectious disease emergency, identifying the optimal “center of gravity” for new facilities—such as triage centers, vaccine distribution hubs, or cold-chain storage—is critical to minimizing lead times and maximizing life-saving reach.
