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.
A- Procurement division
Role & responsibilities :
The division acquires of appropriate goods and/or services at the best possibletotal cost of

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.
15. 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.
16. 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
17. 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.
18. Dribki Kaoutar18
Standardize parts as much as possible in order to reduce the amount of inventory needed
to be carried.

Demand Planning in The UN :
Demand Plan: A demand plan is differentiated from a forecast in that it is
considered a commitment to generate the future demand. This philosophy
22. Dribki Kaoutar22
considers the reality that demand is influenced by the actions of the organizational
stakeholders and the plan must be supported by appropriate sales & marketing
activities. The Demand Planning (DP) module isused for forecasting
