Supply Chain Risk Management, Second Edition

The supply chain management field is one of the fastest

growing fields in our economy, given the heavy

growth in international trade as a means to access

outsourced production opportunities to lower costs

and the growth in information technology to coordinate

supply chains. However, this opportunity to lower

costs entails significant risks, such as tsunamis, earthquakes,

political unrest, and economic turbulence.

This book discusses risks in supply chain management,

followed by graphic and quantitative tools (risk

matrices, selection methods, risk simulation modelling,

linear programming, and business scorecard

analysis) to help manage these risks.
