Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Raipur will conduct ICHL 2013, an International Conference on Humanitarian Logistics which will be held from Sunday, September 22 to Monday, September 23, 2013.

The summit will provide a highly interactive and collaborative environment for the participants where ideas will be shared around emerging themes in the area of Humanitarian logistics.

There has been a challenge for government, non government and other relief agencies responding to unpredictable environment how to prepare and manage relief activities. The role of these relief agencies now entails not just following the operational specialty but also managing issues of concern to the people at large.

There has also been a growing realization of the indispensability of coordinated response to emergencies. Coordination involves, amongst other factors, efficient information exchange. Good logistic supply chain management and its requisite management information system will greatly facilitate such coordination. A Disaster response operation involves trade-offs of speed, cost, and accuracy with regard to the type of goods that are delivered and their quantities. Balancing these trade-offs requires a means of measuring supply chain performance; however, the inability to centrally capture time and cost data related to the procurement and distribution of goods has prevented a systematic process of performance measurement from being implemented.
