How we tell the supply chain story in the humanitarian context using animation

The video animation we produced for Help Logistics (Kühne Foundation, Switzerland) is by far the most frequently accessed video on Help Logistic’s YouTube channel.

Since being uploaded in February 2019, everyone can now learn about the supply chain and logistics in the humanitarian context via a short animation. The supply chain is an interconnected system involving flows of goods, people, data and funds. In the humanitarian context, the supply chain encompasses different phases starting with activities to build resilience, strengthen capacities and prepare for operations to come.

When disaster strikes, the assessment and planning measures determine the humanitarian programme to be carried out. The actual operation begins through the mobilisation of resources and sourcing of commodities, which are then shipped and distributed to the affected population.

You may watch the video on YouTube.

Flunx Areas – Make sure ideas and interests don’t get lost

The people in your company are connected with each other through a wide range of common topics and interests. But often they cannot possess detailed knowledge, as from an individual point of view it is impossible to permanently keep track. This means that many ideas and topics that might be valuable for the development of your company will not be nurtured, for your employees simply don’t see the matching link to a colleague. This is particularly relevant if your company is spread across several locations, or operates globally, or if your employees are working from home.

Well, we have a solution for that. The Flunx app helps your people to find each other by way of common interests and topics. With the Flunx app, they discover countless starting points for further interaction that can be used instantly for mutual benefit.

Remote Work at Kristronics GmbH

Suddenly there it was, the Corona pandemic, and it really turned our lives upside down at first. Society first had to find a way to deal with the new situation by imposing new requirements and rules. And that led to massive restrictions and uncertainties for many people, both privately and professionally. Shops were closed and manufacturing in companies was shut down. Significantly more employees than before the Corona crisis were now to work from home. The corona virus is thus forcing us to separate from each other. But how does this affect modern companies that rely on teamwork? Do teamwork and management work now function differently when we relate this to jobs that used to take place in company buildings?
