Plumpy'Nut is distributed from the manufacturer to geographic areas of need through a complex [[supply chain]]. Forward (downstream) information flow, such as projections of need, [[order processing]], and [[payment processing]] , and
backward (upstream) information flow, including [[inventory|stock monitoring]], [[quality assurance]], and performance data
occur through information exchange vulnerable to errors or tardiness associated with supply chain [[fragmentation (economics)|fragmentation]].<ref name="unc">{{cite web|url=http://www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/~/media/Files/documents/cse/unicef-plumpy-nut-supply-chain.pdf|title=UNICEF's Plumpy'Nut supply chain|author=Swaminathan JK|publisher=University of North Carolina, Kenan-Flagler Business School, Center for Sustainable Enterprise|date=2009|access-date=3 June 2014}}</ref><ref name="ft">{{cite web|url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/edb873a2-d6ef-11df-aaab-00144feabdc0.html#axzz33bYXDfd6 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/dlwkI |archive-date=11 December 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Case study: Getting food to disaster victims|publisher=Financial Times|author=Swaminathan J|date=13 October 2010|access-date=3 June 2014}}</ref>
Factors affecting potential for loss of efficiency in the supply chain are information flow on orders, basis of need, forecasts, flow upstream from field officers and country offices to parties controlling regional distribution and manufacturing by Nutriset, downstream flow of information on delivery times and order status.<ref name=unc/><ref name="ft"/>
