C³M contributes two chapters to the new Kogan book "Supply Chain Management for Humanitarians"

In the new Kogan book "Supply Chain Management for Humanitarians - Tools for Practice" the C³M contributes two chapters on performance measurement and an assessment tool for humanitarian logistics.

See here the editors information on the handbook:
The book provides an in depth insight into the management of supply chains in the context of humanitarian logistics. This accessible and practical book considers humanitarian logistics from both a strategic and operational perspective. The overarching theme is collaboration and coordination, one of the biggest challenges in the humanitarian community. Supply Chain Management for Humanitarians takes a problem-based learning approach, featuring real cases and examples from leading organisations including Oxfam, Unicef, and The Red Cross. Each chapter is self-standing, relating the content in each chapter to the supply chain as a whole. This enables the reader to easily dip into different sections. At the end of each chapter, there is is a case study written by a leading practitioner currently working in the humanitarian field. Supply Chain Management for Humanitarians fills a much needed gap in the market and is essential reading for humanitarians worldwide.  

In the chapter on performance measurement Adam Widera and Bernd Hellingrath present an IT-supported measurement tool which was developed within an action research project with three different humanitarian organizations. Thus, the "tool" is not a simple software but needs to be described as an managerial solution covering the visualization, analysis and measurement of humanitarian logistics processes. In the chapter on assessment Daniel Link and Bernd Hellingrath present the specialized version of the GDACSmobile tool. The main target is to present an assessment tool  dedicated to support logistics planning in humanitarian operations.
