CONCLUSION
The SMS vision to provide excellence in supply-chain service delivery across UNHCR that supports
efficient and sustainable protection for people forced to flee requires our constant review of
business process compliance. Faced with a recurring audit observation of the current practices of
warehouse (WH) network management, Operations are expected to undertake a thorough Feasibility
Study (FS) to assess the needs and justify any request for the creation of a new warehouse. Chapter 8
