摘要

目的研究人道主义物流和供应链标准。各组织之间实施的标准可以提高人道主义行动的互操作性。该论文旨在(1)审查学术界对该主题的最新方法,(2)评估人道主义组织目前对标准的使用情况,(3)调查对进一步具体标准的需求。设计/方法/方法为了实现这些目标,对文献进行了回顾;然后对来自人道主义后勤部门的227名专业人员进行了调查。调查结果基于227份回复,可以得出结论,大多数接受调查的专业人员都认识到人道主义物流标准化的必要性和重要性,尤其是在采购、配送、医疗物流和物流规划等领域,这些领域被视为需要标准化的关键领域。研究局限性/影响从业者和学者通过社交媒体、邮件列表和从业者组织——人道主义后勤协会(HLA)的沟通成为目标。虽然它为不同的受访者群体提供了很好的机会,但答复率无法计算。实际意义研究结果证实了标准化的高度重要性,指出了应首先标准化的领域和功能。标准化可以改善不同人道主义行为者之间的合作,从而为受益者提供更好的服务。因此,也存在潜在的负面影响,即对本地化的影响,应予以克服。社会影响结果没有直接的社会影响;然而,它们刺激了从业者对标准化的研究和工作,这反过来可以改善人道主义行为者之间的合作,从而在紧急情况下做出更好的人道主义反应。原创性/价值大多数关于标准化的论文都使用定性方法。本文对一个大型人道主义从业者网络进行了调查,捕捉了他们对该主题的看法和对标准化必要性的看法。作品是描述性的;然而,它可以作为进一步研究人道主义标准的基础。

Humanitarian logistics and supply chain standards. Literature review and view from practice
PurposeThe paper is focused on standards in humanitarian logistics and supply chain. Standards, implemented between organisations, allow improving the interoperability of humanitarian operations. The paper aims (1) to review a state-of-the-art approach to the topic by the academic community, (2) to evaluate the current use of standards among humanitarian organisations and (3) to investigate the perceived need for further and specific standards.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the aims, the literature was reviewed; then a survey on 227 professionals from the humanitarian logistics sector was conducted.FindingsBased on 227 responses, it is possible to conclude that most surveyed professionals recognise the need for and the importance of standardisation in humanitarian logistics, especially in areas such as procurement, distribution, medical logistics and logistics planning, which were perceived as critical areas that require standardisation.Research limitations/implicationsPractitioners and scholars were targeted via social media, through mailing lists and via communication from the practitioner organisation – the Humanitarian Logistics Association (HLA). While it provided good access to different groups of respondents, the response rate is not possible to calculate.Practical implicationsThe findings confirm the high importance of standardisation, indicating areas and functions that should be standardised first. Standardisation may improve cooperation between different humanitarian actors, allowing better service provision for beneficiaries. Thus there are also potential negative impacts, i.e. impact on localisation, which should be overcome.Social implicationsResults do not have a direct social impact; however, they stimulate research and work among practitioners on standardisation, which in turn could improve cooperation between humanitarian actors, thereby enabling a better humanitarian response in emergencies.Originality/valueThe majority of papers on standardisation use a qualitative approach. This paper applies a survey among a large network of humanitarian practitioners, capturing their view on the topic and perception of the need for standardisation. The work is descriptive; however, it could be used as a base for further studies related to humanitarian standards.

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.
