This document discusses humanitarian supply chain management. It defines a humanitarian supply chain as acquiring, storing, transporting, and distributing relief items during disasters to provide relief. Key differences between humanitarian and commercial supply chains include unpredictable demand from random events and challenges with inventory control and lead times. The document outlines elements of a humanitarian supply chain like information, inventory, and transportation. It also discusses principles, typical structures, management approaches, challenges, and the need for improved assessment, collaboration and analysis to enhance relief efforts.

4. What is a humanitarian supply chain?
The Acquisition,
Storage,
Transportation,
Distribution Of relief items in the time of disaster
is called humanitarian supply chain.

5. The GOAL is to provide RELIEF

6. Commercial versus humanitarian supply chain
Commercial supply chain Humanitarian supply chain
What is “Demand?” Products. Supplies and People.
Demand Pattern Relatively stable, predictable. Demands
occur at fixed locations in set quantities.
Demand is generated from random events
that are unpredictable in terms of timing,
type, and size. Demands are estimated after
they are needed, based on an assessment of
disaster characteristics.
Inventory Control Uses well-defined methods for determining
inventory levels based on lead time, demand
and target customer service levels.
Inventory control is challenging due to high
variations in lead times, demands and
demand locations.
Lead Time Lead time determined by Supplier-
Manufacturer-DC-Retailer-chain
the Zero time between the occurrence of the
. demand and the need for it, nut the actual
ead time is determined by the chain. of
material flow

7. Network Configuration There exist methods for supply chain
network design.
Challenging due to the nature of
unknowns (locations, type and size of
events, politics, culture) and “last mile”
considerations.
Information Systems Typically, well-defined, making use of
advanced technology
Information is often unreliable,
incomplete or non-existent.
Performance Measurement System Historically, focused on resource
performance measures, such as
maximizing profit or minimizing costs.
Primary focus on output performance
measures, such as the time required to
respond to a disaster or ability to meet
the needs of the disaster victims.
Strategic Goals Usually, to produce high quality
products at low cost in order to
maximize profitability and achieve
customer satisfaction.
Minimize the loss of life and alleviate
suffering.

9. Principle Humanitarian Supply Chain
Contingency having bak up plans for your back up plans (predisaster planning and actions)
Visibility need to know as pricesly as where every resources is located all the times
Priority Prioritize of request
Capacity Build the logistic system that can handle the victim’s needs
Communication Communicate with the resources and the victims, and government
Accountability all system are on the track
Timelineness Delivery is on time and based on planning

14. Conclusion
Many Humanitarian Organizations also realized the value of utilizing integrated
technology systems to capture and analyze information resulting in a more
effective and efficient relief effort.
The analysis also mentioned that relief efforts need more attention on the
following areas: Assessment, collaboration, human resources and supply chain
analysis.
The Relief Supply Chain response and to integrate, coordinate, collaborate and
communicate between all the functions of the relief chain.
