Book Review: Humanitarian Logistics

Posted on 2010-08-04 by

Humanitarian supply chains appear to be the rising star within supply chain management, and rightly so. This book matches humanitarian logistics with corporate social responsibility, and that is not only doing good but doing the good rightly.

WCTR 2010

Posted on 2010-07-11 by

How do Norwegian freight carriers handle the impacts of transportation disruptions? Are “bad” locations synonymous with “bad” logistics? That is the title of my presentation at the World Conference on Transport Research, WCTR 2010, in Lisbon, Portugal, this week. The answer is No.

Mitigating Supply Chain Vulnerability

Posted on 2010-07-01 by

Here is a risk assessment index that can be used to measure the vulnerability of different supply chain structures. While it is apparently straightforward to calculate this risk index, it is subject to a number of assumptions that are not equally straightforward to quantify.

Humanitarian Relief Supply Chains

The causes of logistics uncertainty

Posted on 2010-06-19 by

Logistics uncertainty – a new research strand in supply chain risk research? The logistics uncertainty pyramid is further explored in this paper. The Logistics Uncertainty Pyramid Model is an excellent tool that can be used to identify issues of uncertainty, and then map these issues against their sources, from which improvements plans can be developed.

How Norwegian freight carriers handle disruptions

Posted on 2010-06-14 by

How are the supply chains of companies located in sparse transportation networks affected by transportation disruptions? What are typical disruptions in certain locations or for certain types of business, and how do businesses and carriers counter supply chain disruptions?

State of the art in SCRM?

Posted on 2010-06-11 by

Supply chain risk management is a process with 5 evolutionary steps, involving no less than 17 underlying principles. The conceptual framework developed in this article clearly identifies the main principles of SCRM and develops a framework and definitions for disturbance, disruption, security, resilience and risk.

Risk and Vulnerability in Virtual Enterprise Networks

Posted on 2010-05-03 by

Conceptual in its approach and drawing from other areas of research, this chapter introduces four distinct groups of VENS, namely Constrained, Directed, Limited and Free VEN, and concludes that VEN risk management can and should learn from supply chain risk management.

What goes into resilience?

Posted on 2010-04-30 by

Resilience, in essence, is bridging vulnerabilities by honing capabilities. Seldom have I seen such a comprehensive yet to the point article on supply chain resilience that satisfies both academia and the industry at the same time.

Volcanic ash cloud – really a surprise?

Posted on 2010-04-24 by

Icelandic civil aviation authorities have warned Europe for a long time about the potential consequences of a volcanic ash cloud, but no one took them seriously…perhaps we should have.

Using social media in a crisis

Posted on 2010-04-21 by

Scandinavian Airlines launched its Facebook page the day before the volcanic ash cloud. Perfect! SAS goes a long way to show how to use social media in a crisis. Perhaps it doesn’t help that much but shows that they care.

Volcanic Ash Cloud Day 5

Posted on 2010-04-19 by

While it is fair to assume that volcanic eruptions are in the business continuity plans of most airlines, it is probably not so fair to assume that 5 days of sudden air traffic restrictions is in the business continuity plans of most companies reliant on frequent air travel.

Can we do without air traffic?

Posted on 2010-04-18 by

The German newspaper Die Welt has an interesting, semi-humorous article, looking at the possible impacts of a volcano scenario that lasts one week, one month and one year. Can we do without air traffic?

Business continuity 101

Posted on 2010-04-17 by

This is the 3rd day with severe transportation and thus supply chain disruptions all over Europe, due to the volcanic ash clod from Iceland, forcing travellers, cargo shippers and logistics providers to seek alternative solutions. In essence this is a very practical lesson in business continuity.
