Introduction/background: This paper identifies the level of interest in the issues of humanitarian supply chains, as well as in which disciplines and journals the research results on this subject are published. The study results show the development of research issues on humanitarian supply chains and research areas by authors and keywords. Aim of the paper: This paper aims to identify current and emerging research on humanitarian supply chains. Materials and methods: This goal was achieved by conducting a bibliometric analysis. Results and conclusions: As a result, it was established that the research issues of humanitarian supply chains developed on the basis of humanitarian logistics and nowadays are of high interest among researchers and practitioners. Scientific landscape analysis points to the key research areas on the humanitarian supply chain and the need to intensify research on resilience, sustainability, digital technologies, and the performance of humanitarian supply chains.

Background: The concept of humanitarian supply chain management is based on theoretical and methodological assumptions of the idea of cooperation between industry and trade. The overarching goal of humanitarian aid is to save or improve people's quality of life, which makes the problem of economic efficiency a secondary issue. The subjective structure of supply chains is also different, which determines the division of roles and motives in the process of cooperation between their participants. The publication aims to identify differences and controversies related to the transformation of the business concept of supply chain management into the cooperation of entities as part of humanitarian aid actions. Consequently, the second objective tends to identify factors of logistic cooperation among humanitarian organizations. Methods: To achieve both goals, the article was divided into a theoretical part on the idea of logistics cooperation in supply chains (methods: logical analysis and critical analysis of the subject literature) and a presentation of the results of an anonymous questionnaire survey diagnosing initiators and determinants of logistics cooperation in humanitarian supply chains in Poland (methods: questionnaire survey and descriptive statistics). Results: Humanitarian and business supply chains differ in terms of the purpose of functioning, the main entity that coordinates material, information, financial, human and reverse flows, stakeholders of the activities carried out, the location of the idea of cooperation in the supply chain management system and the impact of external conditions on efficiency of functioning. Regularities are diagnosed with respect to the initiators and factors of logistic cooperation in humanitarian supply chains: (1) the main initiators of logistic cooperation in humanitarian supply chains are humanitarian organizations who (2) underestimate the important factors and opportunities to achieve synergistic effects, there is a (3) requirement for greater involvement of national government institutions and international humanitarian organizations, and (4) the type of a humanitarian crisis has an impact on logistic cooperation. Conclusions: A random sample of 100 humanitarian NGOs based on a survey requires a more complete diagnosis of the initiators and the correctness of logistic cooperation in humanitarian supply chains from the perspective of other actors and beneficiaries of aid actions, as well as in the context of competition of cooperating entities, i.e., coopetition. Survey responses obtained should be confronted with an in-depth analysis of a case study of logistic cooperation in humanitarian supply chains to war refugees from Ukraine.

Background: Local and international non-governmental organizations play a pivotal role in a relief operation. However, as the number of disasters and their complexity is increasing, the challenges these organizations face during a relief operation are also growing exponentially. It is crucial for relief organizations to not only understand but also to prioritize the factors, which can make their supply chain work better. Therefore, this research aims at understanding the relationship between the key success factors, which can dramatically enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the relief operation. Moreover, this study also highlights how LNGOs and INGOs differentiate between these KSFs and how they rank them. Methods: To address the objective of this study, the Likert scale style questionnaire was developed and distributed online to all such NGOs (worldwide), which take part in the relief operation. The collected data was then tested for its empirical significance on SPSS using Spearman's Rho, Pearson Chi-square, to understand the relationship and importance of these factors. Whereas, the odds ratio was calculated to rank each KSF. Results: The results of the study indicate that there exist strong correlation among all selected factors and all KSFs affect INGOs supply chain at least twice as much as they do of LNGOs. Conclusion: According to our findings and in the light of literature discussed in this research, a successful relief supply chain depends not only on greater and stronger coordination & collaboration but also on sharing information and resources among LNGOs and INGOs.

Wstęp: Lokalne jak i międzynarodowe organizacje pozarządowe odgrywają kluczową rolę w realizacji poszczególnych operacji. Jednak ze względu na wzrastającą liczbę katastrof oraz ich wzrastającą kompleksowość, przed tymi organizacjami wzrastają coraz to większe wymagania i wyzwania. Dlatego też organizacje te nie tylko musza rozumieć, ale też umieść ustalać priorytety dla czynników wpływających na pracę łańcucha dostaw. Celem pracy jest zrozumienie zależności pomiędzy kluczowymi czynnikami prowadzącymi do sukcesu, które to istotnie wpływają na efektywność i wydajność prowadzonych operacji. Celem pracy jest również określenie jak lokalne i międzynarodowe organizacje pozarządowe rozróżniają te czynniki oraz które są przez nich uważane za najważniejsze. Metody: W celu uzyskania danych, opracowano ankietę korzystającą ze skali Likerta, którą następnie wysłano do pozarządowych organizacji na całym świecie. Uzyskane w ten sposób dane zostały poddane obróbce statystycznej przy pomocy SPSS (Spearman's Rho, Pearson Chi-square) umożliwiającej zrozumienie zależności i istotności poszczególnych czynników. Dodatnie zależności zostały wykorzystane w celu utworzenia rankingu tych czynników. Wyniki: Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań potwierdzają istnieje silnej korelacji pomiędzy wszystkimi wybranymi kluczowymi czynnikami a efektami działania łańcuchów dostaw międzynarodowych organizacji pozarządowych, minimum dwa razy silniejszej niż w przypadku lokalnych organizacji pozarządowych. Wnioski: Zgodnie z uzyskanymi wynikami oraz w świetle dostępnej literatury na ten temat, efektywne działanie łańcucha dostaw zależy nie tylko od silnej koordynacji i kooperacji ale również do współdzielenia się informacją i zasobami pomiędzy lokalnymi organizacjami pozarządowymi jaki i międzynarodowymi organizacjami pozarządowymi.

The article investigates improvement of the supply chain according to the requirements of nowadays, particularly impact of natural disasters. The main role in this process is given to humanitarian logistics. The phases of the disaster and the actions of humanitarian supply chain during these phases are analyzed. It is very important to understand in which cases more appropriate using particular type supply chains. From this point of view authors analyzed the main differences between commercial and humanitarian supply chains. The most important role in the supply chain during the crisis situations played humanitarian organizations. For the purpose of comprehensive understanding peculiarities and involve members were identified main participants of humanitarian supply chain. The ranking of donor countries that are in the top 10, and examples of humanitarian operations and logistics companies in the aftermath of disasters are shown. Authors analyze usage of model of disaster management by logistics companies and humanitarian organizations in different disaster stages. The main advantage of proposed approach is getting clear criterion which arises during the recovery phase of the disaster and enables logistics companies, humanitarian organizations and the military to integrate their efforts and logistics performance, and adapt them to the specific needs.
