New HumOSCM Lab launched
Building on several years of practice-based research, the Chair of Logistics Management launched the new Humanitarian Operations and Supply Chain Management Lab (HumOSCM Lab) at ETH Zurich to support organizations in the humanitarian sector.
The humanitarian challenges faced by the international community are diverse and complex, with potentially devastating consequences for the dignity, mental, and physical well-being of millions of people around the world. Responsive and smoothly-functioning supply chains are critical success factors for getting the goods and services provided by disaster relief and humanitarian activity to the right place, at the right time. Building on several years of work with humanitarian organizations in their headquarters and the field, the team of the Humanitarian Operations and Supply Chain Management Lab (HumOSCM Lab) strives to advance the understanding and practice of operations and supply chain management in the humanitarian sector for real-world impact.
