1. Introduction
WFP Logistics, We Deliver

2. Introduction Introduction:
Introductions should be done as an interactive game – pick one of the following:
In pairs, participants have a brief conversation with the person sitting next to them.
They are given 2 minutes after which they must introduce their partner to the rest of the room.
Facilitator to ask all participants to go around the table and answer their name, background and expectations for the course
All participants get up and stand in a circle.
A ball is passed around the circle; each time someone catches the ball they must state their name and their background before throwing the ball to someone else.

3. Administrative Issues
Amenities
Class Distractions
Smoking Areas
Set the ground rules for the training:
Mobile phones should be switched off; any necessary calls can be made during coffee breaks
Explain where the following can be located:
Bathrooms, Smoking areas, Coffee and lunch break areas, Fire exits
Punctuality
Facilitators to set the rule of reciprocity – if participants commit to being on time, facilitators commit to finishing on time
Interaction during the training
Emphasize that this should not be interpreted as a traditional classroom training
Questions are encouraged
Discussions are encouraged – however there should only be one discussion going on at any one time
Sharing of experiences a key aspect of the learning process – encourage participants to raise their hand and explain or discuss any relevant experiences that may come to mind as the topics are covered

4. Practical Emergency Logistics

Training Goals
Practical Emergency Logistics
The 2 main objectives of the course:
To consolidate some essential practical knowledge:
Participants will review the main practical considerations and discuss the Standard of Operations (SOPs) to implement during emergencies (Warehouse, Emergency Hubs, site planning, power supply and field distribution). 1
To build some fundamental capacity on equipment handling:
Participants will gain some on-hands experience on how to operate Emergency Storage Standard Equipment such as Mobile Storage Units, diesel generators, security light kits and Forklifts. 2

Facilitation Method
Practical Emergency Logistics
Activities:
(Attention: This course is not a simulation exercise)
1. Topic presentations
In this course the presentations will focus on practical issue reflecting the operational realities.
2. Discussions and group work presentations
Scenario exercises are designed to reinforce general knowledge and focus on practical problems. Participants will work in groups and will develop their plans in the same approach than on the Emergency Logistics Operational Training (detailed, practical and relevant).
3. Group practical exercises
Participants will assemble a Mobile Storage Unit and train on specific field equipment (Generators, Security light kits and forklifts).
This slide is for the facilitators reference only.
This slide should be hidden from the workbook and from the class presentation

6. Logistics & Supply Chain
What is your definition of ‘logistics’?
DO NOT PRINT IN WORKBOOK
What is your definition of ‘supply chain’?
Flip Chart Exercise
Organize the groups: decide in advance how the participants are to be grouped.
Participants should have been asked to prepare answers to these questions along with the pre reading for the training. Guide participants if very different from the below (displayed on the next slide). Reveal the answers on the next slide after a short discussion.
The pre reading defines humanitarian logistics as: ‘‘planning, implementing and controlling the efficient, cost-effective flow of and storage of goods and materials as well as related information, from point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose of alleviating the suffering of vulnerable people”
“Supply Chain” is a related term, but places an emphasis more on the relationships between actors than the cargo itself: “though logistics is more focused on moving something or someone from a point of origin to a destination, supply chain management mainly focuses on relationships among the actors that make such movement possible. Logistics and supply chain management are both crucial to properly set the response to a disaster.”
Regarding why these areas would be important, the pre reading lists a number of reasons – try to get the participants to list these:
Logistics is normally what makes the difference between a successful and a failed relief operation
Main source of expenditure – approx. 80% of humanitarian funds are spent on logistics costs
Disaster relief demands a higher logistics effort in terms of knowledge and cost because sudden onset occurrences require a very rapid response capacity
Why would these areas be important?

7. Supply Chain Management

Supply Chain Management
Logistics: ‘‘planning, implementing and controlling the efficient, cost-effective flow of and storage of goods and materials as well as related information, from point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose of alleviating the suffering of vulnerable people”
DO NOT PRINT IN WORKBOOK
Supply Chain: “though logistics is more focused on moving something or someone from a point of origin to a destination, supply chain management goes from the demand to final delivery So it includes planning procurement and delivery. In that sense, we can say that logistics is part of the overall supply chain”
Exercise: Answer to flip chart exercise (in previous slide)
Logistics::
‘‘planning, implementing and controlling the efficient, cost-effective flow of and storage of goods and materials as well as related information, from point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose of alleviating the suffering of vulnerable people”
Supply Chain:
“though logistics is more focused on moving something or someone from a point of origin to a destination, supply chain management goes from the demand to final delivery So it includes planning procurement and delivery .In that sense, we can say that logistics is part of the overall supply chain”
Regarding why these areas would be important, the pre reading lists a number of reasons – try to get the participants to list these:
Supply chain/Logistics is normally what makes the difference between a successful and a failed relief operation
Main source of expenditure – approx. 80% of humanitarian funds are spent on supply chain costs
Disaster relief demands a higher logistics effort in terms of knowledge and cost because sudden onset occurrences require a very rapid response capacity

9. Daily participant feedback
Evaluation
Course Evaluation
Daily evaluation of the course:
Explain the methods of eyes and ears, whereby one person will be nominated at each table / group to consolidate feedback from that group.
All of these people nominated will then separately sit with the facilitators and outline their groups’ concerns / suggestions for improvement.
End of course evaluation:
At the end of the overall course there will be a written survey style of evaluation.
