Trade Review"This book is a huge leap forward in professionalizing the field. Practice of good supply chain management can only make delivering relief more effective. Kudos to the contributors and the editors for filling this need." * Nezih Altay, Co-Editor of the Journal of Humanitarian Logistics & Supply Chain Management *
"Written by expert authors in their field, this book offers a distinct perspective on how the problem-solving capacity of supply chain management principles can help humanitarian organisations and aid workers to operate under conditions that are much more complex, unpredictable and resource-demanding than we find in conventional "commercial" supply chains. This is well-structured and comprehensive piece of work that guides the reader through well-designed and -executed solutions, and supported by examples from various parts of the world. Cutting across topics such as supply chain strategy, procurement, warehousing, transportation, risk and sustainability combined with generic skills of e.g. decision making and performance measurement, the book paves the way for personal development of aid workers and their humanitarian organisations." * Arni Halldorsson, Professor, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden *
"Nobody is more passionate or knowledgeable about humanitarian supply chain management than the HUMLOG team of Ira Haavisto, Gyöngyi Kovács and Karen Spens. They've assembled a great team of authors to guide you through the essentials of managing humanitarian supply chains - from the strategic view at 10,000 metres, to delivering aid where the rubber meets the road. They cover all of the latest topics, including risk, sustainability, and the role of 3D printing. So, if you're interested in travelling the challenging but rewarding highway of humanitarian supply chains, this is the right place to start your journey." * Stan Fawcett, John B Goddard Endowed Chair in Global SCM, and Director, Moyes Center for Supply Chain Excellence, Weber State University *
