The document discusses supply chain risk. It defines supply chain risk and identifies various types of risks including supply risks, demand risks, and environmental risks. It also discusses strategies for managing supply chain risk such as avoidance, postponement, hedging, control, and risk transfer. Effective supply chain risk management involves understanding risk sources and drivers, identifying critical parts of the supply chain, establishing contingency plans, and working collaboratively with suppliers and customers.

3. Supply chain risk? Loss of goods Insurance? Loss of vehicle Replacement? Delayed delivery Brand reputation? Injured personell Hiring and training? Weather conditions Detour?

4. Supply Chain Trends >>> Consequences The trend towards just-in-time and lean practices >>> efficiency rather than effectiveness . The trend towards reducing costs (at almost any cost) >>> globalization of supply chains, more complex and vulnerable . The trend towards economies of scale >>> centralized distribution and manufacturing >>> lower costs but at the same time less flexibility . The trend towards outsourcing non-core business activities >>> loss of control of the supply chain when it is most needed . The trend towards consolidation of suppliers (intentional and incidental mergers and acquisitions) >>> increased potential for supply failure . Christopher, M.

6. Why is supply chain risk important? Even a relatively small supply chain disruption caused by a localized event may have consequences across the global economic system . Globalization, offshoring and outsourcing leads to >> “no” control over causes to events in the supply chain. >> “only” control over consequences of events in the supply chain.

8. What is risk? Risk : - exposure to the chance of injury or loss - hazard or dangerous chance - chance of loss - degree of probability of such a loss Aven, T. (2002) Foundations of Risk Analysis : A Knowledge and Decision-Oriented Perspective, John Wiley & Sons.

9. The risk concept Risk is an ambiguous concept . There are many definitions of risk, depending on their specific application and on their situational context . Risk denotes the precise probability of specific eventualities . Technically, risk has no value, so these eventualities can be beneficial or adverse (i.e. financial risk). RISK = Probability * Consequences

10. Risk analysis A commonly used method for risk analysis is by plotting unforeseen or unwanted events in a risk matrix . This can be done qualitatively , where probabilities and impacts are subjective values (e.g. low/high and minor/major),or quantitatively , where probablities and impacts are objective values (e.g. frequency and cost in $$$).

Before we look at strategies for managing supply chain risk, let us look at general strategies for managing risk

19. Supply Chain Risk Management Supply chain risk management can be described as the intersection of supply chain management and risk management. 1 It has a collaborative and structured approach, and is included in the planning and control processes of the supply chain, to handle risks which might affect the achievement of the supply chain goals . 2 1 Paulsson, U.

20. Supply Chain Risk Management Strategies Avoidance - exiting a market (or product) or delay entering a market (or product) Postponement - delay commitment of resources to maintain utmost flexibility Speculation - assuming risk to gain competitive advantage Hedging - globally dispersing your portfolio of suppliers, customers and facilities Manuj, I. and Mentzer, J. T. (2008) Global Supply Chain Risk Management . Journal of Business Logistics, Vol. 29 , No. 1, pp. 133-155

21. Supply Chain Risk Management Strategies Control - vertical and lateral integration of suppliers and business partners Transferring/sharing risk - outsourcing, offshoring, contracting Security - identifying and protecting against unwanted penetration Manuj, I. and Mentzer, J. T. (2008) Global Supply Chain Risk Management . Journal of Business Logistics, Vol. 29 , No. 1, pp. 133-155

23. Different supply chain characteristics will result in different ways a suply chain disruption is handled. A resilient supply chain is impacted, but it is able to come back to a stable state, although not necessarily to where it was before the disruption. In business setting the ability to survive (resilience) is more important than regaining stability (robustness) The difference between Robustness, Flexibility and Resilience Supply Chain Disruptions

34. Manage supply chain risk 2/2 Allow network visibility don't be afraid to share information. Establish a supply chain continuity team make it cross-functional Work with suppliers and customers are your suppliers and customers aware of their own vulnerabilities? Christopher, M.

35. Summary Supply Chains are exposed to a variety of risks that are unique to each supply chain. These risks are related to actions and events that are inside and outside of the supply chain. Supply Chain Risk Analysis seeks to identify these risks, their sources and driver s, and their impact on the supply chain. Supply Chain Risk Management seeks to establish mitigative and contingent strategies for how to deal with the identified risks and their potential impact on the supply chain.
