A Two-Stage Procurement Model For Humanitarian Relief Supply Chains

---

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss and to help address the need for quantitative
models to support and improve procurement in the context of humanitarian relief efforts.
Design/methodology/approach – This research presents a two-stage stochastic decision model
with recourse for procurement in humanitarian relief supply chains, and compares its effectiveness on
an illustrative example with respect to a standard solution approach.
Findings – Results show the ability of the new model to capture and model both the procurement
process and the uncertainty inherent in a disaster relief situation, in support of more efficient and
effective procurement plans.
Research limitations/implications – The research focus is on sudden onset disasters and it does
not differentiate between local and international suppliers. A number of extensions of the base model
could be implemented, however, so as to address the specific needs of a given organization and their
procurement process.
Practical implications – Despite the prevalence of procurement expenditures in humanitarian
efforts, procurement in humanitarian contexts is a topic that previously has only been discussed in a
qualitative manner in the literature. This work provides practitioners with a new approach to
quantitatively assess and improve their procurement decision processes.
