Purpose An understanding of the “AS-IS” stage of a relief operation is the basis for further action in humanitarian supply chain management. The purpose of this paper is to develop a toolbox called the Humanitarian Supply Chain Assessment Tool (HumSCAT). This toolbox is comprised of a set of basic tools which can be classified into each phase of disaster relief. Design/methodology/approach The HumSCAT is proposed by paralleling frequently used tools in commercial supply chains with the objectives and characteristics of relief phases. A case study was used to validate the HumSCAT along with six tools provided in the preparation phase. Findings The HumSCAT consists of seven tools in the preparation phase, nine tools in the response phase and ten tools in the recovery phase. The case study illustrates how to use the HumSCAT and the six tools. The latter were found to be useful for improving the relief chain. Research limitations/implications The list of tools is not exclusive. Other tools might be applicable as long as they meet the objectives and characteristics of the phase. A tool should be adjusted accordingly to the contexts. Tools in other phases should be validated in future research. Practical implications The HumSCAT may serve as a reference toolbox for practitioners. Its output can be used for further designing of the “TO-BE” status of humanitarian relief chains. Originality/value The HumSCAT is proposed as a toolbox for academics and practitioners involved in humanitarian supply chains.

Supply Chain Risks

Risk occurance in the supply chain is unavoidable. Basically, a great portion of these risks comes from suppliers. Timely identification of the risks and using appropriate preventive actions to reduce the probability and impact of their occurrence play a significant role in increasing organizational efficiency, improving product quality and satisfying customers. Developing a systematic and efficient mechanism is a prerequisite for properly identifying and assessing the supply chain risks and making correct decision. Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a known engineering technique and risk assessment tool to define, identify, and eliminate potential failures and errors in the products, processes, projects, and services. In this paper, FMEA approach is combined with multi-criteria decision-making techniques to make a systematic mechanism for assessing supply chain risks and prioritizing candidate flour suppliers in Sahar bread industrial group. In the proposed model, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to determine the risk’s weights and VIKOR method is applied for assessing and ranking the suppliers. Results shew that among the identified risks, “cost risk group” with the weight "0.43" is the most important. Therefor the company officials have to adopt appropriate policies, carefully, to deal with this risk. Moreover, final evaluation of flour suppliers in the company indicates that according to all criteria, the fourth supplier achieves the highest priority and it is selected as the most qualified flour supplier for the company.

PurposeCustomer participation (CP) has received considerable interest in the service literature as a way to improve the customer experience and reduce service providers' costs. While its benefits are not in question, there is a paucity of research on potential pitfalls. This paper provides a conceptual foundation to address this gap and develops a comprehensive model of the risks of customer participation in service delivery, integrating research from the marketing, operations and supply chain management, strategy, and information technology fields.Design/methodology/approachThe model is derived deductively by integrating insights from research in marketing, operations and supply chain management, strategy, and information technology.FindingsThis paper identifies three categories of potential risks of CP (i.e. market, operational, and service network) and discusses ways that firms can mitigate these risks. Building on the model, it develops a CP risk assessment tool that managers can use when evaluating increases in CP.Research limitations/implicationsThe conceptual model proposed in this paper can serve as a robust basis for future research in customer participation, particularly in such areas as sharing economy services, service delivery networks, and experiential services. The risk assessment tool offers clear guidelines for managers who are considering an increase in customer participation in their service.Originality/valueThis is the first attempt to conceptually define customer participation risk and develop a comprehensive model of its drivers and strategies to mitigate it. This paper develops a straightforward method for managers to evaluate CP risk.

RESUMO: As práticas da construção enxuta vêm sendo difundidas de forma progressiva na indústria da construção civil e, com isso, surge a indispensabilidade de mecanismos que permitam a avaliação de sua implementação. As empresas podem aplicar os princípios da Lean Constuction possibilitando os meios para uma melhoria contínua de seus resultados em termos de prazos, custos e demanda ao cliente. O objetivo do trabalho é aplicar a ferramenta de avaliação da implementação da Construção Enxuta (LCAT) em três empresas construtoras goianas. A pesquisa é classificada como quantitativa e qualitativa, aplicada e de caráter exploratório. A partir da análise dos dados referentes à média de todas as quatro categorias (Gestão da Qualidade, Gestão da Cadeia de Suprimentos, Planejamento e Controle da Produção e Gestão de Projetos), as empresas B e C apresentaram percentuais próximos entre si, correspondendo a 61% e 62%, respectivamente. Esses resultados foram superiores ao da empresa A, equivalendo a 53%. A principal contribuição da pesquisa constituiu em evidenciar as práticas para a implementação da Lean Construction nas empresas pesquisadas e despertar a estas indicações de ferramentas que podem ser facilmente implementadas a um baixo custo.   ABSTRACT: The practices of lean construction have been progressively diffused in the civil construction industry, and with this, comes up the indispensability of mechanisms that allow the evaluation of their implementation. Companies can apply the principles of Lean Constuction by enabling them to continuously improve their results in terms of deadlines, costs and customer demand. The objective of this work is to apply the Lean Construction Assessment Tool (LCAT) in three construction companies in Goiás. The research is classified as quantitative and qualitative, applied and exploratory. Based on the analysis of the data for the average of all four categories (Quality Management, Supply Chain Management, Production Planning and Control and Project Management), companies B and C had close percentages, corresponding to 61 % And 62%, respectively. These results were superior to that of company A, equivalent to 53%. The main contribution of the research was to highlight the practices for the implementation of Lean Construction in the companies surveyed and to awaken to these indications of tools that can be easily implemented at a low cost.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a new assessment tool for Leagility. Design/methodology/approach – This research was carried out to systematically propose the operational activities of Leagile supply chains (SCs) with regard to SC drivers. Particularly, SC logistic (facility, transportation and inventory) and cross-functional drivers (information, sourcing and pricing) were selected to classify all operational activities of Leagile SCs. Findings – This study proposed a new framework to evaluate the operational activities of Leagile SCs. Operational activities of Leagile supply chain strategy were determined and categorized with regard to SC drivers. These activities were ranked using an analytic hierarchy process and were then categorized using a cycle view of SC. Originality/value – This study contributed in proposing operational activities of Leagile SC based on its major drivers. The result of this study assist managers, scholars and practitioners to construct new Leagile SCs or assess their Leagility level.
