“…In hospital ER operations, RFID systems have been used in asset tracking and people localization [23,36,37]. RFID systems have also been used in humanitarian logistics center management [38], emergency response management [39], and building assessment for urban emergency response and recovery [40].…”

“…Liu [57] used a field bus to connect sensors and RFID readers to a central server, whilst Jedermann et al [58] designed and implemented a freight agent module to integrate RFID and WSNs in a container for fruit logistics. A further improved system was presented by Yang et al [38] Architecture (SoA) approach, where complex and monolithic systems are decomposed into publishing, registering, and consuming application functionality, namely services [59].…”

“…Cozzolino et al (2012) for example considered the agile and lean concept to ensure effectiveness. Yang et al (2011) suggested the adoption of RFID, sensor and network technologies in humanitarian logistics to optimize humanitarian relief operations. Other authors like Balcik and Beamon (2008) developed a simulation and modeling tool for facility location and stock pre-positioning decisions in a humanitarian relief chain responding to quick-onset disasters.…”

Structured Abstract:Purpose -The main purposes of this study are 1) to identify the state of the art of performance measurement and management in humanitarian supply chains, 2) to categorize performance measurement indicators in the five supply chain phases of Gunasekaran and Kobu (2007) and evaluate them based on the evaluation criteria of Caplice and Sheffi (1995), 3) to define gaps as well as challenges in this field and give insights for future research in this domain.Design/methodology/approach -A literature review has been conducted using a structured method based on Denyer and Tranfield (2009) and Rousseau et al. (2008). The state of the art on humanitarian supply chain performance management with a focus on measurement frameworks as well as indicators and their applications in practice is classified in three categories. The first category is the definition and measurement of success in humanitarian supply chains. The second category is managing performance, which focuses on describing and analyzing the actual practice of managing performance. The third category shows the challenges in performance management that humanitarian supply chain actors deal with.Findings -Findings reveal that performance measurement and management in humanitarian supply chains is still an open area of research, especially compared to the commercial supply chain sector. Furthermore, the research indicates that performance measurement and management in humanitarian supply chains has to be developed in support of the supply chain strategy. Based on the findings of the literature review on performance measurement and management in the commercial and humanitarian field, a first classification of 94 performance measurement indicators in humanitarian supply chains is presented. Furthermore, the paper shows key problems why performance measurement and management systems have not been widely developed and systematically implemented in humanitarian supply chains and are not part of the supply chain strategy. Third, we propose performance measurement guidelines that include input and output criteria. We develop a research agenda that focuses on four research questions for designing, deploying and disseminating performance measurement and management in humanitarian supply chains..Practical & social implications -The result helps the humanitarian supply chain community to conduct further research in this area and to develop performance measurement frameworks and indicators that suit humanitarian supply chains.Originality/value -It is the first systematic approach to categorize research output regarding performance measurement and management in humanitarian supply chains. The paper shows the state of the art in performance measurement and management in humanitarian supply chains and develops a research agenda.

Tracking and monitoring system using radio frequency identification (RFID) have gained a lot of improvements especially for applications that need automation with reduction in human intervention and become more interesting nowadays with the increasing market demand for internet of things (IoT) technologies. The objective of this study is to improve the machine-tomachine (M2M) communication using active RFID with wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with heterogeneous data transfer (regardless of power meter type) for monitoring and identification of household electrical consumption. M2M is a popular technology and has become a part of our daily life. WSN through ZigBee technology is applied to monitor data and to read the load consumption from the electrical household power meter by embedding a tag module into the meter. In-house built-in tag was embedded into an electrical power meter with a power management circuit communicating to a reader at an RF signal of 2.45 GHz based on the star network topology with the sleep mode function. The experimental results indicated that the electrical power meters with embedded tags successfully worked wirelessly with acceptable mean value of electrical consumption difference in Watts more than those without tags (standalone meter), which is in the range of 2.44 W to 2.5 W based on 10-hour measurements.
