This volume provides a survey of current research problems and
results in humanitarian operations research. Additionally, it
discusses existing applications of humanitarian operations
research, and considers new research efforts that clearly extend
existing research and applications. The book is divided into three
sections that provide an overview of the subject, a look at the
theory, and an examination of applications. The overview section
presents chapters on modeling approaches and metrics to evaluate
nonprofit operations; chief findings of fieldwork research in
disaster response logistics; the use of cash as a form of relief;
and measuring markets that supply cash-based humanitarian
interventions. The theory section includes chapters that examine
the partner proliferation problem in disaster response networks; a
case study of humanitarian logistics that examines how humanitarian
culture informs change adoption; and a look at the current state of
the art for information visibility in humanitarian operations.
Finally, the application section focuses on blood products,
vaccines, and food assistance, with individual chapters on
efficient inventorying and distribution of blood products during
disasters; a detailed look at modeling in the context of the
vaccine supply chain; a framework for achieving equity,
effectiveness, and efficiency in food bank operations; and a
spatio-temporal vulnerabili ty assessment of the resilience of a
population affected by sudden lack of food.
