A significant amount of food is wasted in its supply chain before delivered to consumers. It is often argued that one-third rule is one of the main causes of the food loss. However, it has not yet been understood well how the rule actually affect the food loss. Thus, this study presents a simulation model for investigating the effect of the rule on the amount of food loss in a milk supply chain. The computational simulation provides a new insight on the food supply chain management.
