Abstract

PurposeThe impact of supply disruptions from unplanned events can cause goods shortage, limited responsiveness and high opportunity cost thus compromising development aid programmes' achievement targets. These situations force humanitarian aid agencies to develop new strategies for effectively managing their supplies. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the foundation of humanitarian supply chain resilience through the development of an adapted Kraljic portfolio model.Design/methodology/approachAction research was used to adapt and validate the Kraljic portfolio model to the development aid context. The research team worked with a humanitarian aid agency in developing criterions and used Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) in weighting those key criterions.FindingsThe adapted portfolio model was able to evaluate purchases done by the aid agency by incorporating different perspectives related to the strategic importance of purchase and supply vulnerability. In particular, development aid programmes require large supplies annually. Better classification offers improved visualisation of purchases, leading to a more precise adoption of mitigation strategies and policies to minimise supply disruption risks.Research limitations/implicationsAdapting the Kraljic portfolio model is a stepping-stone to building humanitarian supply chain resilience. The proposed humanitarian supply chain resilience framework is based on the foundation that current humanitarian supply chain needs to be re-engineered. In order to re-engineer, the supply base strategy must first be revisited.Practical implicationsMany aid agencies do not have a holistic view on their purchases and commonly apply a transactional classification of purchases that only considers the consumption values. Purchasing strategies mostly focus on cost minimisation, whereas risk mitigations have been disregarded. The proposed portfolio model overcomes these drawbacks. Societal impact may be limited but development aid agencies will be able to offer more reliable aid delivery as part of their mandate.Originality/valueThe proposed portfolio model is among the first tool to guide humanitarian aid agencies to develop procurement strategies to alleviate supply disruptions and increase development aid programmes resilience.

人道主义供应链弹性的采购组合模型:来自发展援助背景的观点
目的计划外事件造成的供应中断的影响可能导致物资短缺、反应能力有限和机会成本高,从而影响发展援助计划的实现目标。这些局势迫使人道主义援助机构制定新的战略,以有效地管理其供应。本文的目的是通过开发适应性Kraljic投资组合模型来说明人道主义供应链弹性的基础。设计/方法/方法行动研究被用于使Kraljic投资组合模型适应和验证发展援助背景。研究小组与人道主义援助机构合作制定标准,并使用层次分析法(AHP)对这些关键标准进行加权。经调整的投资组合模型能够通过纳入与采购和供应脆弱性的战略重要性相关的不同观点来评估援助机构所做的采购。特别是,发展援助方案每年需要大量物资。更好的分类可以改善采购的可视化,从而更精确地采用缓解战略和政策,以尽量减少供应中断的风险。研究局限/启示采用Kraljic投资组合模型是建立人道主义供应链弹性的垫脚石。提出的人道主义供应链弹性框架基于当前人道主义供应链需要重新设计的基础。为了重新设计,必须首先重新审视供应基础战略。实际意义许多援助机构对他们的采购没有一个整体的看法,通常只考虑消费价值的交易性采购分类。采购策略大多侧重于成本最小化,而风险缓解却被忽视了。所提出的投资组合模型克服了这些缺点。社会影响可能有限,但发展援助机构将能够提供更可靠的援助,作为其任务的一部分。提议的组合模式是指导人道主义援助机构制定采购战略以减轻供应中断和提高发展援助方案复原力的首批工具之一。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management (JHLSCM) is targeted at academics and practitioners in humanitarian public and private sector organizations working on all aspects of humanitarian logistics and supply chain management. The journal promotes the exchange of knowledge, experience and new ideas between researchers and practitioners and encourages a multi-disciplinary and cross-functional approach to the resolution of problems and exploitations of opportunities within humanitarian supply chains. Contributions are encouraged from diverse disciplines (logistics, operations management, process engineering, health care, geography, management science, information technology, ethics, corporate social responsibility, disaster management, development aid, public policy) but need to have a logistics and/or supply chain focus. JHLSCM publishes state of the art research, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative approaches, in the field of humanitarian and development aid logistics and supply chain management.
