“…In Figure 1, we illustrate the flow of goods and information among various stakeholders in a humanitarian supply chain (Salvadó et al, 2018(Salvadó et al, , 2019 and indicate how blockchain solutions allow supply chain participants to contribute to a shared and immutable data layer which enables them to access situation-and context-specific information matching their informational needs. It should be noted that blockchain applications enable but do not necessitate the public sharing of data, as so-called hybrid solutions combine features of both public and private blockchains to allow, for example, transaction checksums to be stored publicly to facilitate auditability, while consortium participants can only access other data according to their respective roles and, as accustomed, can still store data privately.…”

Blockchain technology has been suggested as a groundbreaking solution for disaster prevention and relief. However, there is a dearth of both practical applications and systematic academic research into how those existing blockchain solutions actually help to prevent disasters and/or alleviate their negative impacts. The purpose of this paper was to extend previous research by investigating existing blockchain solutions using a rigorous multiple case study approach. Based on stakeholder theory, a structured framework is developed that examines the roles of key stakeholders in disaster situations, illustrates organizations' motivations to deploy blockchain technology, identifies various use cases, lists the relevant blockchain properties, and highlights contingency factors for successful implementations. The findings demonstrate that blockchain applications can improve both disaster prevention as well as disaster relief efforts by streamlining information flows and augmenting the capabilities of core stakeholders. Furthermore, numerous propositions can be derived from the framework that can be used as starting points for further in‐depth investigations. This study familiarizes practitioners with blockchain's potential for disaster management and provides academics with a theory‐based foundation for future research.

“…Each of these activities can be examined from different perspectives. For example, supply chain management activities may aim to improve individual processes [93,94], relationships between organizational processes [95,96], or relationships between actors in the network [97,98]. In particular, enhancing the maturity of the entire supply chain is crucial to establish strong relationships with suppliers upstream and cus-tomers downstream, thereby creating value across the entire supply chain [79,87,99,100].…”

Maturity models (MMs) are strategic tools used to assess and improve the current state of processes, objects, or people, with the goal of achieving continuous performance enhancement. While MMs are applied in various fields, their scope, design, and application criteria within Supply Chain Management and Logistics (SCML) lack comprehensive studies. This article aims to address this gap through a systematic literature review. The review analyzes 137 relevant articles using both bibliometric and content analysis techniques. The bibliometric analysis identifies major contributions, popular journals, and the classification and evolution of key keywords. The content analysis focuses on critical criteria related to the scope, design, and application of MMs. The findings reveal a growing emphasis on models assessing Industry 4.0 readiness and sustainability principles. However, several gaps are identified, including limited attention to optimizing and integrating logistic processes, underutilized and unvalidated MMs, and the absence of comprehensive improvement guidelines. Based on these trends and research gaps, this study proposes five recommendations for future developments that benefit both academics and practitioners. These recommendations aim to address the identified limitations and provide guidance for comprehensive and effective improvement strategies.

“…feedback in disaster depends upon different levels like "inter organizational coordination" and "intra organizational coordination" [17]. The former is based on the association among national and international humanitarian units whereas later is concerned about the structure of the organization [18]. Figure 3 portrays the complexity between many organizations taking place to perform relief operations needed when a disaster strikes.…”

An increasing trend has been observed in natural disasters entailing in significant human and infrastructural damage. This highlights the need of improvised Humanitarian Supply Chain (HSC) operations for effective response in disastrous events demanding resourceful preparation. Different challenges are faced in coordinating relief activities due to heterogeneous profiles and versatile experience of volunteers offering services for relief operation. Moreover, prioritization of HSC activities with respect to disaster damages is another concern for organizations. Lastly, while carrying out a relief operations in certain calamities, HSC task recommendation to volunteers is also a significant problem. In this paper, an optimized volunteer-task recommender has been proposed based on Systems Dynamics (SD) approach that improves productivity of teams participating in relief operations. A number of parameters have been considered by recommender to assess the expertise of workforce such as: shortlisting of volunteers based on evaluation of their reputation, experience level, skills, availability of volunteers etc. The results are promising enough with optimized task recommendations to resources in effective disaster management with potential for application in real time situations.
