The Impact of Strategic Logistics Management in the Stages of Crisis Management in The Jordanian Armed Forces - Arab Army

Abstract

The study aimed to analyze the impact of strategic logistics management in the stages of crisis management in the Jordanian Armed Forces - Arab Army, the study used the analytical descriptive method to achieve the objectives of the study and test its hypotheses, the study population consisted of all job titles (director, head of department, unit commander or center, head of division, assistant unit commander, first and lower staff). Due to the small size of the study population, the researchers used a comprehensive survey strategy by distributing (350) questionnaires to all managers in the Jordanian Armed Forces-Arab Army, specifically those related to logistics, and (300) questionnaires were retrieved, or (85%) of the total number of questionnaires distributed. After scrutinizing them, (10) questionnaires were excluded due to incomplete answers (2.8%) of the original distribution, thus the number of valid questionnaires for analysis purposes reached (n=290).
The study found that there is a positive impact of strategic logistics management in the stages of crisis management.

Based on the findings that indicate a positive impact of strategic logistics management on the crisis management phases, we can recommend that companies should adopt an integrated and well-organized logistics strategy. This strategy should be based on a thorough analysis of the logistics chain and an assessment of the potential needs and challenges that the company may face during a crisis.
