[Logprofs] Submission for Logprofs mailing list

[Amir Sharif]

Dear editors

Please can the following go out on LogProfs, many thanks


DEADLINE EXTENDED: Themed issue of Production Planning and Control - Call for Papers

Please continue to submit to the themed issue of PPC on "Humanitarian Operations Management".

The system should still allow you to submit to the special issue - please ignore the 31st January 2016 date.


Guest Editors:

Prof. Amir M. Sharif (Brunel Business School) and
Prof. Graham Heaslip (University of New South Wales / National University of Ireland)

This special issue aims to collect work from different applied areas and motivate scholars to develop applications-based models in the realm of Humanitarian Operations Management. This is noting that the standard OM tools developed to address for-profit operations are not always the best fit to address humanitarian operations. For this reason there is a need to build theory by developing analytical and empirical models tailored to this type of operations. Moreover, novel OM theory needs to be developed to address issues exclusively pertinent to this area such as the management of donations, the design of fundraising mechanisms, and the study of the fund allocation problem.


Noting the above, this special issue will attempt to bring together leading research into humanitarian logistics and disaster supply chain management from the perspective of approaches and strategies that can be applied from the operations and production management sphere for the benefit of these complex and challenging societal events.
