This book was released on 2011-01-14 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,3, Maastricht University, language: English, abstract: Purpose - Catastrophic supply chain risks can have severe effects on companies’ supply chains. Still, previous supply chain risk management research has predominantly focused on operational risks. The purpose of this study is to explore the construct of managerial risk perception and the assessment stage of catastrophic supply chain risks. Design/methodology/approach - A risky decision making model for catastrophic supply chain risks was applied in an explorative multiple case study approach. Interviews served as the main source for information. Findings - The degree of supply chain integration was found to be a prime determinant of the potential damage caused by disruptions due to catastrophic supply chain risks. The frequency of catastrophic supply chain events seems to be influenced to some degree by the number of suppliers. It is suggested that managerial perception of catastrophic supply chain risks is formed by the degree of potential damage and past exposure to catastrophic supply chain events. Several barriers to the assessment of catastrophic supply chain risks, such as missing top management priority, low supply chain risk management maturity and lack of obvious return were identified. A combination of “softer” supply chain risk assessment methods, expert opinions and simulation techniques have been identified to be useful to assess catastrophic supply chain risks. Originality/ value - This explorative research provides first insights into the construct of managerial risk perception in the context of catastrophic supply chain risks. Further it identifies useful risk assessment tools and techniques for catastrophic supply chain risks, based on both supply chain risk management research and catastrophe research. Key words Supply chain risk management, risk assessment, catastrophic risks, low-probability high-consequence risks, risk perception, managerial risk perception.

Book excerpt: The goal of this research is to investigate interdependency modelling of supply chain risks, and to develop and empirically evaluate a supply chain risk management process that not only integrates all stages of the process but also captures interdependencies between risks and risk mitigation strategies. The proposed process is tailored to the risk management needs of both conventional and project driven supply chains. Project driven supply chains necessitate experimenting untested (unique) strategies depending on the level of project complexity whereas in the case of conventional supply chains, there is generally a consensus in establishing interdependencies between risks and the efficacy of strategies. A systematic literature review methodology was employed to identify research gaps and establish the research agenda. In order to gain an insight into industrial practice, empirical research was conducted in South Australia involving semi-structured interviews with experts in project risk management that resulted in the development of a project complexity and risk management (ProCRiM) process. The research gaps identified and the findings of the empirical research helped in developing dependency based probabilistic supply chain risk measures that can be readily used for assessing and managing risks associated with global supply chains. In order to capture interdependencies between supply chain risks, strategies and performance measures, two case studies were conducted in reputed supply chains involving semi-structured interviews and focus group sessions that resulted in the development of two risk management frameworks: an adapted version of ProCRiM applicable to project driven supply chains and a framework specific to conventional supply chains. The research also focused on investigating the merits and challenges associated with implementing the proposed process. In order to capture the risk appetite of a decision maker, a process namely supply chain risk network management is developed and illustrated through a simulation study.

Download or read book Supply Chain Resilience written by Venkatachalam Anbumozhi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-22 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates individual companies’ and industries’ supply chain risk management approaches to identify risk drivers and verify effective risk-reduction measures and business continuity plans. Typically, supply chain risk assessments focus on normative guidelines based on single best practice examples or vulnerability events, and there has been little work exploring how the concepts of supply chain risk management and resilience are related. However, since this relationship has implications for developing integrated response strategies, a clear understanding of the possible consequences is a fundamental step in building socio-economic resilience along the supply chain. Against this background, the book addresses three main topics: firstly, it defines the conceptual and sectoral domains of supply chain risk management and resilience by examining the welfare effects of extreme weather events and other economic shocks on selected global supply chains. It then presents an in-depth analysis of the scope of public–private partnerships to tackle the risks, by empirically exploring supply chain risk effects and information management. Thirdly, it proposes a regional cooperation framework in the context of major supply chain vulnerability events such as disasters and global financial crises.

Suppliers, partners, vendors, and service providers are essential to the success of businesses across all industries. However, with this reliance on third parties comes significant risks that can quickly spiral out of control, leading to disastrous consequences. In "Supply Chain Roulette," we explore the critical role of third-party relationships and provide practical strategies for managing these risks effectively. Our comprehensive guide draws on real-world examples and case studies to illustrate the devastating consequences of overlooking supply chain risks, such as reputational damage, financial losses, and legal penalties. The book provides an in-depth examination of the various types of risks associated with third-party relationships, including cybersecurity, financial, legal, reputational, compliance, and regulatory risks. We offer practical solutions and best practices for mitigating these risks, from implementing cybersecurity measures to developing resilient supply chains and contingency plans. Moreover, our book emphasizes the importance of building trust, transparency, and collaboration with third-party partners. We delve into the role of C-level executives in managing third-party relationships and ensuring that third-party risks are integrated into the overall strategy of the organization. We also highlight the importance of responsible cyber and emerging technologies in third-party risk management. "Supply Chain Roulette" provides insights into the future of third-party relationships and the strategies for preparing for future risks and challenges. We explore the latest trends and predictions for the future of third-party relationships in the supply chain and innovative approaches to managing these relationships. Whether you're a CEO, CIO, CFO, or a business owner, this book is a must-read for anyone navigating the complexities of the global supply chain. Our goal is to help you develop a winning strategy that protects your business and your customers by proactively managing third-party relationships.
