Humanitarian supply chain performance (HSCP) derived supportive actions Ensure the implementation of supply chain strategies that help achieve supply chain management objectives. Despite the frequent occurrence of disasters and their huge impact, humanitarian organizations today are still under constant pressure to improve their performance. Based on this need, this research aims to test humanitarian supply chain practices applicable to humanitarian supply chain performance. By adopting humanitarian supply chain practices, it will enable humanitarian supply chain organizations to evaluate and improve humanitarian supply chain performance. This concept paper will discuss the impact of humanitarian supply chain practices, namely the visibility, agility, and utilization of information technology (IT), which in turn attracts a series of improvements to improve humanitarian supply chain performance. Furthermore, the proposed framework is practical in any setting because it is an integral result of previous literature and research. Quantitative survey methods will be used. Research in these areas will provide insights for humanitarian supply chain organizations facing similar problems in other settings.
