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.

This book arose from our lectures on Artificial Intelligence at the
Uttaranchal Institute of Technology, Dehradun and later at the
Dehradun Institute of Technology, Dehradun. We started writing a
new text out of dissatisfaction with the literature available at
the time. Most books on Artificial Intelligence seemed to be
chaotic collections of models and there was no clear unifying
theoretical thread connecting them. The results of my efforts are
published in this book. We tried in this book to put the accent on
a systematic development of Artificial Intelligence theory and to
stimulate the intuition of the reader by making use of many
figures. Intuitive understanding fosters a more immediate grasp of
the objects one studies, which stresses the concrete meaning of
their relations. Since then some new books have appeared, which are
more systematic and comprehensive than those previously available,
but We think that there is still much room for improvement. The
book has been written for undergraduates, and the only mathematical
tools needed are those which are learned during the years at
Institute.
Professionals in multinational companies may face several
challenges related to the multi-linguistic, multi-faceted aspects
of supply chain management in developing and developed economies.
Under-developed infrastructures, archaic technology and lack of
knowledge of indigenous supply chain management systems have
hampered the growth of markets and indigenous businesses in
emerging economies. Cases on Supply Chain and Distribution
Management: Issues and Principles introduces readers to a wide
selection of case studies covering a multitude of supply chains in
different economies of the world and examines major issues related
to supply chain management. Concerned with the complete management
of the flow of goods, information, and finances, the discipline of
supply chain management merits an in-depth analysis. This book
presents the latest knowledge on different types of supply chains
that exist within the world business environment and acts as
catalyst for incumbent global corporations to understand and work
around inefficient supply chains, particularly in emerging
economies.
