Abstract

Humanitarian supply chains are essential for timely and effective crisis response, yet measuring their performance remains challenging. This article identifies and analyzes factors influencing the performance of humanitarian supply chains, aiming to establish a comprehensive performance measurement system. Initially, it examines the current methods used to assess performance in these supply chains. Based on this analysis, a structured system of performance indicators is proposed, distinguishing between efficiency and effectiveness in processes and measuring outcomes to evaluate the results and impact of humanitarian efforts. The research concludes with a validated set of indicators designed to enhance efficiency and optimize logistics capabilities in humanitarian operations, providing practical value for application within humanitarian organizations.
