The result of the study puts forth a simple framework of supply chain management solutions for overcoming logistics difficulties during relief operations and explains why managers should consider their use. NGOs in all sectors, commercial, military and others should make use of planning and risk management, leading to faster implementation, more comprehensive identification of potential risks and easier coordination with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders. It will help to establish rules and strategies, assign responsibilities, coordinate responses, and monitor current conditions. NGOs should provide a common language for supply chain classification and analysis. Using a common language and framework makes it easier for teams to communicate, speeds bench-marking efforts, and enhances the evaluation of best practices.
