The primary purpose of this book is to collect and share various streams of research and trends in supply chain risk, predominantly from the ISCRIM (International Supply Chain Risk Management) network.
Supply chain risks can include a number of different issues, and the article structures these issues along three dimensions: 1) the Supply Chain itself, 2) Risk Management processes and 3) Types of Risk.
The International Supply Chain Risk Management Network (ISCRIM) is a network of academics interested in how to handle different types of risks in the supply chain. The main purpose of the ISCRIM-network is to speed up, and improve, the research within “Supply Chain Risk Management”.
This excellent book by Donald Waters offers a comprehensive overview of many important issues in managing supply chain risk. More than 15 case studies and a straightforward hands-on practical approach make this book an enjoyable read. I almost forgot that I bought this book as a text book.
SCRM needs to address the whole supply chain, since risk can emanate from any part of the supply chain and potentially affect the performance of the entire supply chain.
