“…Efficient and effective logistics operations and supply chain management are required to perform disaster relief operations effectively (John, 2017). Humanitarian supply chain management encompasses the system and processes involved in mobilizing people, resources, skills, and knowledge to assist vulnerable people affected by disasters and embraces (Wassenhove, 2006;John, 2017) the understanding of providing the proper assistance to the right beneficiaries at the right time.…”

In recent years, natural disasters associated with human-induced factors and climate changes have increased. The humanitarian supply chain (HSC) provides a practical and rapid response to these disasters and deals with the destruction that may occur due to disasters. The use of reverse logistics, one of the key supply chain processes for successful supply chain management, is becoming widespread in the supply chain. Its use in HSC is limited. Considering the aim of HSC to create positive effects on the population affected by disasters, it is essential for the sustainability of resources and processes that they adopt reverse logistics practices. In this context, the study aims to analyze the usage area of reverse logistics in HSC operations and show where it can be applied in the future. In line with the purpose of the study, the annual reports and publications of aid organizations operating in Turkey were analyzed using the content analysis method, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts in humanitarian aid organizations. It has been concluded that humanitarian aid organizations know reverse logistics processes and have areas of use in their applications.

“…Manajemen rantai suplai kemanusiaan, atau Humanitarian Supply Chain Management (HSCM) juga menjadi bidang penelitian yang cukup banyak dikaji. Telah dilakukan kajian literatur review untuk bidang tersebut antara tahun 1995 dan 2015 [6]. Beberapa teknologi yang diprediksi akan berkembang pesat adalah SCM (termasuk keuangan rantai suplai), integrasi ABC (Activity Based Costing) berbasis waktu, teknologi RFID untuk pengumpulan data otomatis, analisis dalam hal terkait tools negoisasi antara organisasi dalam rantai suplai , dan standarisasi data akuntansi biaya dalam SCM [7] [8].…”

In planning education strategies in the field of logistics and SCM, external factors evaluation approach can be implemented. This study proposes the approach of mass media sources and latest news as a basis for determining external factors, as a result, the formulation obtained is newest and more contextual. Those external factors then are going to be analyzed to formulate a strategy that is suitable for logistics education. The strategy emerges into several main things; although it is not time to lead fully to Industry 4.0, the Education curriculum should include knowledge that is aligned and supports the knowledge, Soft Skills that needed to be in logistics and supply chain education are English language skills and the ability to search for data. Object of the research in terms of logistics education which currently growing interests are namely logistics and SCM marine, e-commerce and international zones. Graduates need to be equipped with the ability to do business process efficiently and digitize all business processes.

“…During the post–natural disaster event, the biggest problems in front of human race are not only those short-term sufferings but mainly the long-term consequences which raise a concern towards sustainability. The common problems associated with post-disaster events are sanitation, drinking water pollution, disease, lack of fertile farmland, deforestation and soil erosion, clearing away general waste, medical waste and high level of debris which requires scientific way of disposal, migration of homeless groups to other locations leading to premature death, civil unrest and wars between different groups (John, 2018; Mackay et al , 2019). Environmental experts have explained disasters through the popular butterfly effect which indicates that events such as earthquakes may generate a chain of other events such as floods, landslides, epidemics and drought in the affected areas, and we have noticed this from the Indonesia earthquake case as well.…”

PurposeHumanitarian supply chains (HSCs) by their very nature require urgent reaction to unforeseeable needs, making it difficult to properly plan for the support of actual demands. As such, integrating sustainability into traditional HSC practices continues to present a challenge to governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and other humanitarian-related agencies. This study focuses on identifying and categorizing the leading enablers to green humanitarian supply chains (GHSCs) and proposes a model for improving the responsiveness based upon a fuzzy total interpretive structural modelling approach.Design/methodology/approachTotal interpretive structural modelling (TISM) uses group decision-making to identify contextual relationships among each pair of enablers and elucidates the nature of each underlying relationship. The fuzzy TISM shows the level of strength (very high influence, high influence, low influence and very low influence) of each enabler in relation to other enablers, which can help to inform management decision-making.FindingsGHSC management requires strategic planning of inventory and logistics management. The importance of collaborative relationship building with HSC partners for developing capability and the effective use of available resources are keys to success. These improved relationships also help to promote postponement and similar speculation-based logistics strategies, as well as advanced purchasing and pre-positioning strategies. Finally, the speed and quality of response is found to be the top enabler in GHSC management.Research limitations/implicationsOne noted shortcoming of the chosen research method is its reliance on subjective expert judgement. However, collecting judgements is at the basis of many research methods, and the research team took utmost care throughout the research process to allay biases. Future empirical research can further examine the relationships suggested herein. Managers can use the model developed in this research to consider impactful ways to design and execute sustainable HSCs.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this is a novel attempt to identify enablers to GHSC management. Secondly, the research team has used an advanced methodology (fuzzy TISM) to develop the contextual inter-relationships among the enablers which has not been used earlier in this direction before and thus advances the GHSC literature.
