Yes / This study has addressed and identified the problems in managing the existing emergency
supply chain of Bangladesh in all phases of operation in terms of the primary drivers of the
supply chain. It has also attempted to conceptualize and suggest an effective emergency supply
chain. In this context, a thorough field investigation in several districts was conducted among the
employees of the organizations sharing common information with similar protocols and
implications (interoperable). Information was collected from the employees of all the
participating organizations involved in disaster management through a semi-structured
questionnaire based survey. The respondents addressed and illustrated several interconnected
reasons which are inhibiting proper forecasting, procurement, storage, identification of affected
people, and distribution. The respondents pointed out that the mismatching of objectives in the
different organizations resulted in non-interoperability among the participating organizations.
These issues are related to the malfunctioning of management with multidimensional
organizational conflicts. Reflecting those issues, an emergency supply chain for disaster
management is proposed in this study
