A Critical Success Factor in the Logistics of Donations Management
Collaboration: A critical success factor in the logistics of donations management Leonardo Varella Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) [email protected] Mirian Buss Gonçalves Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) [email protected] Abstract Donations Management is an important and relevant aspect in humanitarian operations. This paper presents collaboration as the most critical factor within an efficient donations management, asserting strategies that might improve its relevance in such scenarios, proposing an operations reference model, and simulation as important tools to achieve better results Keywords: donations management, humanitarian logistics, reference model INTRODUCTION Humanitarian logistics is a complex and highly unstable business process, because it involves serious operational challenges such as: the uncertainty of time, personnel training, issues regarding the media coverage, financial support from different entities, lack of information and poor presentation, setting up an information technology infrastructure, among others (Overstreet et al., 2011). Adverse situations where such knowledge can be applied for the relief and recovery of an initial state vary, such as wars, terrorist attacks, forest fires, landslides, flooding, droughts, famine, to name a few. Humanitarian aid environments have a wide variety of actors, each one with different backgrounds, goals, interests, and skills. These environments commonly need supplies, clothing and food in quantities and times that defy other logistics operations. Such humanitarian logistics processes occur through the humanitarian supply chain. One of the critical factors for the uninterrupted flow of humanitarian logistics operations and the management of relevant supply chains is the donations management, a logistic flow with unique features and characteristics. Donations management is an imperative and relevant aspect in humanitarian operations.

Competitive and Cooperative Inventory Management in a Two-Echelon Supply Chain With Lost Sales Abstract This paper studies inventory management in a two echelon supply chain with stochastic demand and lost sales. The optimal policy is evaluated and compared with the competitive solution, the outcome of a game between a supplier and a retailer in which each firm attempts ot maximize its own profit. It is shown that supply chain profit in the competitive solution is always less than the optimal profit. However, the magnitude of the competition penalty is sometimes a trifle, sometimes enormous. Several contracts are considered to align the firms’ incentives so that they choose supply chain optimal actions. These contracts contain one or more of the following elements: a retailer holding cost subsidy (which acts like a buy-back/return policy), a lost sales transfer payment (which acts like a revenue sharing contract) and inventory holding cost sharing.
