If you are a supply chain or logistics academic or researcher, looking for a new research strand or looking for a new theoretical approach to preparedness and recovery, then yes, this is it.
Can contingency planning increase flexibility and minimize risk exposure to supply chain disruptions?
How do you prepare a supply chain for a crisis, and how do you manage a supply chain when the unexpected hits you?
A new framework for the interpretation of supply chain risk mitigation measures? Interpreted structural modelling.
Can public-private partnerships improve community resilience? In order to achieve community resilience public and private owners of critical infrastructures and key resources must work together, before, during and after a disaster.
It is only when the consequences of actions and events are uncertain that these actions and events are truly risky.
The article highlights that information risks are interrelated and that one factor (or “enabler”) cannot be mitigated without taking into account all the other factors that contribute to or are dependent on this factor.
This article presents a new conceptual approach and extended analytical tool for risks in critical infrastructures, and shows how external factors are a major contributor to the risk and interconnectedness of critical infrastructures.
If you know that your shipment will arrive late, you are perhaps less concerned with not being just in time? The Danish shipping giant Maersk has halved its top cruising speed over the last two years, thus cutting fuel costs, cutting emissions and perhaps cutting disruptions costs, too?
The global network of ships criss-crossing the oceans provide perhaps the most important mode of transportation for the spread of invasive species that “hitch-hike” with these ships.
The main focus of this seminar is how leading companies are tackling the many critical risks to their supply chains which they are facing in this current time of crisis and economic instability.
I’m sorry for not posting here as frequently as I perhaps should. I’m moving house and I’ve been renovating my new apartment every day after work for the past two weeks, leaving little time for much else besides work than a few hours of well-deserved and highly-needed sleep.
The recent earthquake in Haiti is a poignant reminder of how vulnerable a country is when it is facing disaster on a grand scale.
The BBC reports that National Grid has issued its latest “balancing alert” on gas supplies. Unusually cold weather has hit big Norwegian gas field Ormen Lange and the Nyhamna gas processing centre, hitting North Sea gas flows from Norway at a time of increased consumption.
This blog has previously reported profusely on flexibility, let alone resilience and robustness, but has severely neglected agility. With this post, I intend to take a closer look at what it means to be agile. This is the only reference I have found that properly differentiates between agility and flexibility and what being agile actually entails.
No grit means no cleared roads means no one able to get anywhere and a no-show of people everywhere. Employees not coming to work because of extreme weather will cost the UK £12,000,000,000,000.
Today’s paper describes how Finland views logistics and supply as important to national security and how the LOGHU project was created to develop a framework for identification and ranking of threats and corresponding countermeasures.
Does having Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in your supply chain constitute an increased exposure to supply chain risk?
Finally, here it is, the complete review of some 160 or so articles in supply chain risk and risk management.
Is it possible to say that a blog has a supply chain? And if that is the case, are blogs exposed to supply chain risks? If that is the case, are blogs exposed to supply chain risks? This slightly humorous post takes a look at my blog from a supply chain perspective.
