Humanitarian Relief and Supply
Chain Management
• Smith & Dowell (2000) called the
humanitarian relief supply chain networks in
rapid onset disasters as ‘‘incident
organizations’’.
• Fitzgerald (2004) named the same as
‘‘collaborative entities’’.
• Furthermore, since most natural disasters
are unpredictable, the demand for goods in
these disasters is also unpredictable
(Cassidy, 2003; Murray, 2005).
Humanitarian supply chains
• Humanitarian supply chain are mostly
unstable, sometimes the supply chain
breaks at the receiving end.
• Humanitarian logistics again is
characterized by large-scale activities,
irregular demand and unusual
constraints in large-scale emergencies
(Beamon& Kotleba, 2006).
Humanitarian Logistics:
• Humanitarian logistics is defined as
‘‘the process of planning, implementing
& controlling the efficient, costeffective flow of goods and materials as
well as related information, from point
of origin to point of consumption for
the purpose of meeting the ultimate
requirements of the end beneficiary”
