I.Introduction:

This paper will take on the supply chain process in The UN which is an international

organization dealing with different entities around the world. The Global strategy of the

organization aimed at transforming service delivery to the field missions ,building on existing

tools and mechanisms and it is geared toward improved service delivery to 35 field presences

served by the department of Field support. There are many challenges that confront the support

of the fields.The main part of the Department of Field support that deals with the supply process

is The procurement division that maintains most of contracts and financial Operations That the

supply division and the logistics division request.




 -The Organizational Structure of the DPKO



At present the DPKO is divided in 2 offices; the Office of Operations, which essentially takes

care of political issues and the Office for Mission Support (OMS). The OMS in turn is again

divided in two divisions; the Logistics Division and the Administrative Division. The Logistic

Division is responsible for the coordination of activities related to information,

Telecommunication, health, engineering, transportation (air and land), and supply of materials

for construction and maintenance of missions. The proposed organization for the Logistic

Division of the OMS for 2006-2007 includes some 182 persons and is structured in three

Services : the Operational Support Service; the Specialist Support Service and the

Communications and Information Service Technology.

The Office of Aviation Safety controls the flight security through external contractors
Dribki Kaoutar6


as the United Nations itself does not possess any aircraft. This unit is not a part of the Air

Transportation Section, in order to assure its objectivity and transparency.

The Operational Support Service too is divided in two sections: Logistic Operations

and Logistics Policy. The former coordinates the logistic operations of interfaces (such as

engineering and materials flows) between troops (also referred to as the Blue Helmets) and

the civil administration of the United Nations. The latter takes care of the definition of the

policies and technical normative of the intervention.

Specialist Support Service (SSS) is constituted of seven sections: Air Transport;

Surface transport; Medical; Supplies; Contingent Owned Equipment (COE); and Engineering

and Cartography. The Air Transport section assists the missions in the activities arranging air

transport, conducted by external contractors, in all contractual aspects. The Surface Transport

Service has similar functions, although in this case the vehicles actually belong to the United

Nations. The Medical Support Service, other than the complex exercise of coordination of

several missions, has a normative task of standardization of doctors, budget preparation,

contracts, and location of the doctor-sanitary materials and management of refresher courses.

The Supply Service takes care of (a) the preparation of the technical detailed lists of material

demands for the exercise of peace operations (e.g., food supplies, potable water, gasoline); (b)

administration of this material and the contractual aspects. The activities of procurement and

contract bids are directed by an external office to the DPKO belonging to the Department of

Management of the Secretariat. For each mission a decentralized office of procurement

handles amounts up to $200.000, operating independently from Headquarters in New York.

Materials management (COE) belongs to troops participants to missions and coordinates the

complex negotiations and technical detailed lists between troops of the Member States and those
Dribki Kaoutar7


of the United Nations. Engineering takes care of technical norms and policies for the

standardization of the engineering activities; technical detailed lists for bids; technical

assistance to the missions; training of the staff; and the management, through a computing

network, of engineering materials of the SDS. Cartography supplies cartographic technical

assistance and logistic assistance in the field (e.g.: identification of optimal sites for the

construction of military encampments). Communications and Information Technology

operates and manages, through UNLB, all computer telecommunications equipment. This

Service maintains in real time databases relative to materials and staff.



The Peacekeeping Operations of the United Nations:

The logistics of the Intervention

Within the United Nations, the power and responsibility to institute and maintain peace

keeping operations rests with the Security Council. At the operational level, the Department

of Peace Keeping Operations (DPKO), instituted in 1992, has the mandate for the planning,

preparation and directing these peace operations, which are considered the United Nations’

instrument to help countries suffering from conflicts to create conditions for sustainable

peace.

At present, there are sixteen ongoing peace keeping missions and two political

missions (Fig. 1). Since the creation of the United Nations in 1945, 62 of such missions have

taken place, 15 prior to1990 and more than 40 ever since). During these missions, military

contingents and/or military observers that are provided by the member states of the United

Nations.

Seven of these missions have a more permanent character. Some of the missions are

financed with the regular budget of the United Nations

Supply Chain Context in the UN:

In the Supply Chain context, the main operational performance drivers relate to the

management of inventory, transportation, facilities and information. these four drivers are

described as follows:

(1) Inventory – Inventory refers to all the raw materials, work in progress and finished goods

of the organization. Inventory levels are a powerful tool that influences the supply chain’s

efficiency and responsiveness. Through their reduction organization become more
Dribki Kaoutar9


efficient as it lowers their inventory carrying costs. However, maintaining minimum

inventory levels may compromise the organization’s ability to respond to sudden surges in

requirements. Maintaining higher levels of inventory contributes to an organization’s

ability to respond promptly. However these additional inventories increase the overall

costs by locking up capital in inventory carrying costs. In addition, they also increase the

risk of product damage obsoleteness.

(2) Transportation – Transportation refers to the movements of inventory from one point in a

supply chain to another. Reducing minimum shipping quantities might benefit immediate

response time but it will decrease transport efficiency and increase costs.

(3) Facilities. The facilities in the supply chain context encompass all places in the network

where inventory is stored, assembled or fabricated. A higher density of facilities will

enhance responsiveness but reduce efficiency by increasing costs. In the particular context

of humanitarian relief case, dispersing inventory over a wider geographical area

potentially implies facing additional safety concerns that might further increase costs due

to a greater need for security.

(4) Information. Finally, the information consists of data and analysis regarding the inventory,

transportation, facilities and customers throughout the supply chain. Information is

potentially the biggest driver of performance in the supply chain as it directly affects each

of the other drivers. In environments prone to instability, such as the ones in our case, a

highly dispersed network strongly increases the need for information yet at the same time,

it increases the threat of an obstructed flow of accurate and timely information.

Table 1 shows how the application of leanness and agility approach influences an

organization’s supply chain performance drivers. To make its supply chain leaner,
Dribki Kaoutar10


organizations attempt to reduce their inventory levels and increase minimum shipping

quantities (so as to reduce transportation costs). Less dense networks of facilities contribute to

elimination of waste and reduce the exposure to potentially hostile elements (stealing/attacks).

Gaining more precise and detailed information on the requirements and preferences of

different members of the supply chain facilitates supply chain officers’ ability to optimize the

supply chain performance drivers, regardless of whether the organization aims to have lean or

agile operations.

Table 1: Application of the leanness and agility paradigm to the supply chain performance

Drivers                                       Lean                      Agile

Inventory levels                                 Decrease                 Increase

Transportation costs (Minimum order quantity) Increase                Decrease

Facilities density                                Decrease            Increase

Information                                       Increase             Increase



In short, supply chain officers are appointed to enhance organizations’ effectiveness

by managing the supply chain drivers such as to reduce waste whilst assuring responsiveness

to demand fluctuations. The appropriate management of these drivers, furthermore, helps

keeping costs associated with operating the supply chain at lowest possible levels whilst

avoiding erroneous deliveries, undesired supply delays or full stock-outs.

The ideal supply chain, however, is likely to embody both lean and agile principles to

ensure the highest level of responsiveness combined with low costs and efficient processes.

The particular supply chain configuration that describes such upstream processes has been
Dribki Kaoutar11


termed as “leagile” 1. Lean processes upstream facilitate a low cost and low risk supply chain

whilst agile processes downstream assure high levels of

responsiveness to the needs in the field. The agility of the latter processes is achieved through

creating higher strategic buffers (inventories) at the lower end of the supply chain and the

postponement of product customization. In other words, an organization might simultaneously

operate the leanest agile system and the most responsive lean system. In humanitarian relief

environments, the optimal position on the lean-leagile-agile continuum will differ from item

to item and from mission to mission. The definition of the best approach will therefore require

continuous revision. What might be the optimal approach for one field operation might not be

adequate for another. Ultimately, the choice of the main focus of the supply chain

management efforts (be it lean or agile) depends on the composition of the market

winners/market qualifiers2. Market qualifiers refer to competitive pre-requisites which represent

a base level of performance, whilst order winnersrefer to critical differentiating factors.

Corporations and public bodies often define processes intended to promote fair and open

competition for their business while minimizing exposure to fraud and collusion.

Procurement Division provides responsive, effective, and quality expert procurement services

and business advice to UN Headquarters, peacekeeping missions, and other UN organizations,

while achieving best value for money and ensuring a competitive, fair and transparent process in

accordance with established regulations, rules and procedures.

   B- Supply Section :

                Main areas of commodities :

                The supply services in the UN mainly develop the following area in the supply

                section :

   •    Sourcing

   •    Strategic Deployment Stocks

   •    UN Reserve

   •    Systems Contracts

   •    Inter-mission Transfers

   •    Member States

                 Supply Chain Process:



Elaboration of the explanation of the following chain that provide the image of the Supply chain

process takes on :

   1. The flow chart above fig .2shows a typical manufacturing supply chain work flow

detailing which areas of the business are involved.


2. The sales department identifies a need for a product. The sales department tell the marketing

department about their idea and provide any supporting information / data.


3. The marketing department use business analysts to support the project and to complete the

research.


4. Data and supporting evidence is passed back to the marketing department for completion of a

business plan.


5. A fully detailed business plan is forwarded to the Business Unit Manager / Directors.


6. This unit comprises of the senior business directors or managers who make a decision on the

project.


7. After approval the plan is passed back to the analysts to prepare and implement the

manufacturing process.
Dribki Kaoutar15




8. Details of raw materials and components passed to purchasing.


9. Purchasing work with logistics and transport to plan the purchase and delivery of the materials

to the manufacturing plant.


10.Suppliers receive orders for product and then dispatch on agreed transport on agreed dates.


11. Carriers approved by the business transport the raw materials and components to the

manufacturing site.


12. Products are received into the warehouse and then moved to manufacturing.


13. Finished products are moved from manufacturing to the finished goods warehouse which

might be situated locally or in a remote location.


14. Finished goods are put into inventory awaiting orders. The company computer system is

updated. Product is now available to sales.


15. Customers place orders through customer services.


16. Customer Services take orders and input them to the company computer system.


17. The central computer system maintains transaction records and provided visibility of product

for sale.


18. An order is completed and a pick list sent to the warehouse.


19. A copy of the order is sent to the export department for completion of export documentation.
Dribki Kaoutar16


20. Export department manages the final dispatch of the product and produces any export

documents.


21. Documents are sent to the warehouse to meet up with the finished order.


22. The order is dispatched by the warehouse.


23. The transport company collects the consignment and delivers it to the customer based upon

the INCO terms of carriage.


24. As stock has now been used the computer system generates a request for new stock.

25. The re-order process generates a request to the purchasing department to place new orders

with the suppliers.




The primary decisions made within the supply chain include:


       Sourcing

           o   Quality of product

           o   Choosing suppliers

           o   Location of suppliers

           o   How much product to order

           o   Transportation channels

       Production

           o   Location of production (domestic, international)

           o   Make vs. Buy
Dribki Kaoutar17


           o    Capacity of plants

           o    Quality of the product (low cost leader, differentiation strategy)

       Inventory

           o    How much inventory to hold (safety stock)

           o    how much to order

           o    when to order

       Logistics

           o    Transportation - best way to get the product to the customer

                      Truck

                      Rail

                      Air

                      mode of transport

                      shipment size

           o    Location of distribution centers in order to keep customer service high and costs

                low




Some of the objectives of a supply chain manager include:


       Increase communication along all nodes of the supply chain to create an uninterrupted

       flow of materials.

       Decrease inventory while still maintaining high customer service levels.

       Reduce the supplier base and develop supplier relationships in order to reduce overall

       costs.
Dribki Kaoutar18


Standardize parts as much as possible in order to reduce the amount of inventory needed

to be carried.

  • 5. Dribki Kaoutar5 I.Introduction: This paper will take on the supply chain process in The UN which is an international organization dealing with different entities around the world. The Global strategy of the organization aimed at transforming service delivery to the field missions ,building on existing tools and mechanisms and it is geared toward improved service delivery to 35 field presences served by the department of Field support. There are many challenges that confront the support of the fields.The main part of the Department of Field support that deals with the supply process is The procurement division that maintains most of contracts and financial Operations That the supply division and the logistics division request. -The Organizational Structure of the DPKO At present the DPKO is divided in 2 offices; the Office of Operations, which essentially takes care of political issues and the Office for Mission Support (OMS). The OMS in turn is again divided in two divisions; the Logistics Division and the Administrative Division. The Logistic Division is responsible for the coordination of activities related to information, Telecommunication, health, engineering, transportation (air and land), and supply of materials for construction and maintenance of missions. The proposed organization for the Logistic Division of the OMS for 2006-2007 includes some 182 persons and is structured in three Services : the Operational Support Service; the Specialist Support Service and the Communications and Information Service Technology. The Office of Aviation Safety controls the flight security through external contractors
  • 6. Dribki Kaoutar6 as the United Nations itself does not possess any aircraft. This unit is not a part of the Air Transportation Section, in order to assure its objectivity and transparency. The Operational Support Service too is divided in two sections: Logistic Operations and Logistics Policy. The former coordinates the logistic operations of interfaces (such as engineering and materials flows) between troops (also referred to as the Blue Helmets) and the civil administration of the United Nations. The latter takes care of the definition of the policies and technical normative of the intervention. Specialist Support Service (SSS) is constituted of seven sections: Air Transport; Surface transport; Medical; Supplies; Contingent Owned Equipment (COE); and Engineering and Cartography. The Air Transport section assists the missions in the activities arranging air transport, conducted by external contractors, in all contractual aspects. The Surface Transport Service has similar functions, although in this case the vehicles actually belong to the United Nations. The Medical Support Service, other than the complex exercise of coordination of several missions, has a normative task of standardization of doctors, budget preparation, contracts, and location of the doctor-sanitary materials and management of refresher courses. The Supply Service takes care of (a) the preparation of the technical detailed lists of material demands for the exercise of peace operations (e.g., food supplies, potable water, gasoline); (b) administration of this material and the contractual aspects. The activities of procurement and contract bids are directed by an external office to the DPKO belonging to the Department of Management of the Secretariat. For each mission a decentralized office of procurement handles amounts up to $200.000, operating independently from Headquarters in New York. Materials management (COE) belongs to troops participants to missions and coordinates the complex negotiations and technical detailed lists between troops of the Member States and those
  • 7. Dribki Kaoutar7 of the United Nations. Engineering takes care of technical norms and policies for the standardization of the engineering activities; technical detailed lists for bids; technical assistance to the missions; training of the staff; and the management, through a computing network, of engineering materials of the SDS. Cartography supplies cartographic technical assistance and logistic assistance in the field (e.g.: identification of optimal sites for the construction of military encampments). Communications and Information Technology operates and manages, through UNLB, all computer telecommunications equipment. This Service maintains in real time databases relative to materials and staff. The Peacekeeping Operations of the United Nations: The logistics of the Intervention Within the United Nations, the power and responsibility to institute and maintain peace keeping operations rests with the Security Council. At the operational level, the Department of Peace Keeping Operations (DPKO), instituted in 1992, has the mandate for the planning, preparation and directing these peace operations, which are considered the United Nations’ instrument to help countries suffering from conflicts to create conditions for sustainable peace. At present, there are sixteen ongoing peace keeping missions and two political missions (Fig. 1). Since the creation of the United Nations in 1945, 62 of such missions have taken place, 15 prior to1990 and more than 40 ever since). During these missions, military contingents and/or military observers that are provided by the member states of the United
  • 8. Dribki Kaoutar8 Nations. fig:1 Seven of these missions have a more permanent character. Some of the missions are financed with the regular budget of the United Nations Supply Chain Context in the UN: In the Supply Chain context, the main operational performance drivers relate to the management of inventory, transportation, facilities and information. these four drivers are described as follows: (1) Inventory – Inventory refers to all the raw materials, work in progress and finished goods of the organization. Inventory levels are a powerful tool that influences the supply chain’s efficiency and responsiveness. Through their reduction organization become more
  • 9. Dribki Kaoutar9 efficient as it lowers their inventory carrying costs. However, maintaining minimum inventory levels may compromise the organization’s ability to respond to sudden surges in requirements. Maintaining higher levels of inventory contributes to an organization’s ability to respond promptly. However these additional inventories increase the overall costs by locking up capital in inventory carrying costs. In addition, they also increase the risk of product damage obsoleteness. (2) Transportation – Transportation refers to the movements of inventory from one point in a supply chain to another. Reducing minimum shipping quantities might benefit immediate response time but it will decrease transport efficiency and increase costs. (3) Facilities. The facilities in the supply chain context encompass all places in the network where inventory is stored, assembled or fabricated. A higher density of facilities will enhance responsiveness but reduce efficiency by increasing costs. In the particular context of humanitarian relief case, dispersing inventory over a wider geographical area potentially implies facing additional safety concerns that might further increase costs due to a greater need for security. (4) Information. Finally, the information consists of data and analysis regarding the inventory, transportation, facilities and customers throughout the supply chain. Information is potentially the biggest driver of performance in the supply chain as it directly affects each of the other drivers. In environments prone to instability, such as the ones in our case, a highly dispersed network strongly increases the need for information yet at the same time, it increases the threat of an obstructed flow of accurate and timely information. Table 1 shows how the application of leanness and agility approach influences an organization’s supply chain performance drivers. To make its supply chain leaner,
  • 10. Dribki Kaoutar10 organizations attempt to reduce their inventory levels and increase minimum shipping quantities (so as to reduce transportation costs). Less dense networks of facilities contribute to elimination of waste and reduce the exposure to potentially hostile elements (stealing/attacks). Gaining more precise and detailed information on the requirements and preferences of different members of the supply chain facilitates supply chain officers’ ability to optimize the supply chain performance drivers, regardless of whether the organization aims to have lean or agile operations. Table 1: Application of the leanness and agility paradigm to the supply chain performance Drivers Lean Agile Inventory levels Decrease Increase Transportation costs (Minimum order quantity) Increase Decrease Facilities density Decrease Increase Information Increase Increase In short, supply chain officers are appointed to enhance organizations’ effectiveness by managing the supply chain drivers such as to reduce waste whilst assuring responsiveness to demand fluctuations. The appropriate management of these drivers, furthermore, helps keeping costs associated with operating the supply chain at lowest possible levels whilst avoiding erroneous deliveries, undesired supply delays or full stock-outs. The ideal supply chain, however, is likely to embody both lean and agile principles to ensure the highest level of responsiveness combined with low costs and efficient processes. The particular supply chain configuration that describes such upstream processes has been
  • 11. Dribki Kaoutar11 termed as “leagile” 1. Lean processes upstream facilitate a low cost and low risk supply chain whilst agile processes downstream assure high levels of responsiveness to the needs in the field. The agility of the latter processes is achieved through creating higher strategic buffers (inventories) at the lower end of the supply chain and the postponement of product customization. In other words, an organization might simultaneously operate the leanest agile system and the most responsive lean system. In humanitarian relief environments, the optimal position on the lean-leagile-agile continuum will differ from item to item and from mission to mission. The definition of the best approach will therefore require continuous revision. What might be the optimal approach for one field operation might not be adequate for another. Ultimately, the choice of the main focus of the supply chain management efforts (be it lean or agile) depends on the composition of the market winners/market qualifiers2. Market qualifiers refer to competitive pre-requisites which represent a base level of performance, whilst order winnersrefer to critical differentiating factors.
