Suitemates is produced by Kinaxis, a Canada-based company that delivers RapidResponse, an award-winning on-demand supply chain management tool. In Suitemates they poke fun at what they call Big ERP and how supply chain consulting companies supposedly work.
This is one of the articles – if not THE article – that paved the way for many frameworks for risks in supply chains, most notably the supply-demand-process-control model.
Transportation is a staple ingredient in supply chains and uncertainty is a staple ingredient in risk assessments, and consequently, transportation uncertainty is a staple ingredient in supply chain risks.
Triads in supply networks: Theorizing buyer-supplier-relationships by Thomas Y Choi and Zhaohui Wu is a fascinating read and a brilliant attempt at classifying buyer-supplier triads into nine distinctively different configurations.
Decentralization, pre-positioning and pooling of relief items are key success factors for dramatic improvements in humanitarian operations performance in disaster response and recovery.
Essentially, there is no difference between a business continuity plan for one organization, compared to a business continuity plan for a whole supply chain. What differs is the complexity
I do have a lecture on supply chain risk, but not in webinar style. Perhaps it’s time to reconsider.
Now there is a new source for knowledge on disaster management and humanitarian logistics, the Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management (JHLSCM).
Today I will share some personal thoughts on my blogging: The magic Alexa ranking, supposedly showing a website’s popularity on the Internet. But does Alexa ranking really matter? Is a high Alexa ranking really a quality sign? You know, Alexa is so easy to manipulate.
Publish or perish? Publish. It has taken its time, but finally it is there, the book that has my chapter in it. This book links Virtual Enterprise Networks with Supply Chain Management and Risk Management in a cross-disciplinary fashion.
Many books on supply chain risk do not deal explicitly with supply chain security; at best it is one of many aspects of discussion. This books takes supply chain security a long step forward, as it provides a cross-section of current research and future issues.
This book will fascinate, because it so brilliantly explains, explores, researches and reviews the spatial impact of transportation systems and how they have shaped the world that surrounds us.
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.
