This book discusses emerging themes in the area of humanitarian
logistics. It examines how humanitarian logistics and supply chains
play a key role, focusing on rapidly delivering the correct amount
of goods, people and monetary resources to the locations needed to
achieve the success of relief efforts in response to global
emergencies such as flood, earthquakes, wars etc. With an increase
in the frequency, magnitude and impact of both natural and manmade
disasters, effective delivery of humanitarian aid is an issue that
is becoming increasingly important in the context of disaster
management. The book focuses on how logistics systems and supply
chains responsible for delivering this aid from origin to
recipients can be made more effective and efficient. It also
discusses how the development of information technology systems
that can provide visibility to the disaster relief supply chain
marks a huge step forward for the humanitarian sector as a whole.
As more organizations begin to adopt and implement these systems
and visibility is established, the use of key performance
indicators will then become essential to further enhance the
efficiency and effectiveness of these supply chains.

The manufacturing industry has been struggling to deal with
difficult issues of achieving high customer satisfaction while
maintaining cost competitiveness. As companies are preparing to
make their mark globally, the need to improve supply chain
efficiency is being given high priority. In future, competition
shall no longer takes place between individual businesses, but
between entire supply chains. The crux is in overall optimization
of the value chain by aligning business strategy with the supply
chain strategy. This book presents a spectrum of issues on existing
supply chain systems including quality and information technology.
A sizable portion of the book covers empirical assessment of
contemporary supply chain practices and brings out some significant
enablers of performance. The focus is on enhancing competitive
potential through supply chain management practices. The book
covers conceptual as well as application oriented topics. Thus, the
articles are eminently suited and should appeal to industry
practitioners, research scholars and students of supply chain
management.
