A Commentary on Agility In Humanitarian Aid Supply Chains

---

Purpose – This paper aims to provide a commentary and an overview of developments in the field of humanitarianism that could impact theoretical
understanding of agility in humanitarian aid supply chains over the past decade.
Design/methodology/approach – Authors review papers published on agility in humanitarian aid supply chains from 2006 to 2015 in the four
leading Emerald-published logistics and supply chain management journals. These are: Supply Chain Management: An International Journal (SCMIJ);
International Journal of Physical Distribution and Logistics Management (IJPDLM); International Journal of Operations and Production Management
(IJOPM); and Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management (JHLSCM). This paper presents an overview and update of
developments that have the potential to influence current thinking and understanding about agility in humanitarian aid supply chains, and
humanitarian aid supply chains in general.
Findings – Humanitarianism and the environment of Humanitarian organisations are evolving. Such evolution has potential impacts on theoretical
discussions and understanding of agility in humanitarian aid supply chains and humanitarian aid supply chains in general.
Research limitations/implications – This is not a critical literature review but an overview. The paper is based on four logistics and supply chain
management journals only. However, the paper is based on the work published over a decade.
Practical implications – Points scholars and practitioners to the impacts of Humanitarian Organisations using the relief-development continuum
on supply chain design decisions including the pursuit of agility.
Social implications – It may be the time to consider the relief-development continuum in fresh light and its implications for agility in humanitarian
aid supply chains.
