摘要

目的本研究的目的是了解一个组织是否知道自己是否准备好应对灾难,以及是否有能力提供救援。我们最初的动机是确定美国海军(USN)和美国海军陆战队(USMC)拥有的独特资源,因为它们在人道主义行动中具有独特和关键的能力。最近世界各地频繁发生的灾害表明,这些事件将继续产生对救援能力的需求。因此,我们不仅需要了解美国海军和美国海军陆战队的战备指标,还需要了解整个人道主义组织(Hos)的战备指标。设计/方法论/方法我们调查了相关文献,以了解HO如何定义和制定准备就绪指标和相关因素。我们研究了包括同行评审学术文章、政府文件、白皮书、研究论文和国防部简报在内的文件。我们研究了为国防部撰写的重要文献,一是美国海军和美国海军陆战队的丰富经验,二是经验教训已被记录在案。文献提供了大量信息,说明准备工作意味着什么以及为什么它很重要。这些记录在案的信息至关重要,因为人道主义行动中的研究人员都知道,数据很难获得。准备就绪框架的验证,我们发现存在于我们审查的支持文献中。独创性/价值我们研究的组织对人道主义行动准备程度指标的理解可能会为其他组织提供见解。对于基于常识的结论,我们获得的见解可能不是关键的,也不是违反直觉的。然而,它们得到了文献综述的支持。我们根据一系列不同的研究人员和从业者的结论,如学术学者、参与人道主义任务的国防部人员和政府官员、反复负责做好准备的美国国际开发署代表、东道国和外国的军事和政府官员等,将这一概念正式化。

Understanding readiness metrics for the humanitarian operations through literature review
PurposeThe purpose of this research is to understand whether an organization knows if it is ready to respond to a disaster and whether it has the capabilities to deliver relief. Our initial motivation was to identify unique resources possessed by the United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) due to their unique and critical capabilities for humanitarian operations. The recent frequency of disasters around the world suggests these events will continue to create demand for relief capabilities. For this reason we need to understand readiness metrics not just for USN and USMC but for humanitarian organizations (Hos) in general.Design/methodology/approachWe survey relevant literature for understanding how HOs define and develop readiness metrics and associated factors. We studied documents including peer-reviewed scholarly articles, government documents, white papers, research papers and Department of Defense (DoD) briefings. We study literature that is significantly written for DoD, one, the vast experience of USN and USMC and two, the lessons learned have been documented. The literature offers substantial information on what readiness means and why it is important. This documented information is critical because it is known to the researchers in humanitarian operations that data is hard to come by.FindingsThe framework for readiness proposed at the end of this article is context the emergency responder probably uses in an informal fashion. The validation of readiness framework, we find exists in the supporting literature we review.Originality/valueThe understanding of readiness metrics for humanitarian operations for the organizations we study may offer insight into other HOs. The insights we gain may not be pivotal or counterintuitive to the conclusions based on commonsense. However, they are supported by the literature review. We formalize the concept based on conclusions of a set of diverse set of researchers and practitioners such as academic scholars, DoD personnel and government officials involved in humanitarian missions, USAID representatives that are repeatedly tasked for being ready, military and government officers from host and foreign countries and many more.

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.
