In this book, which is a more or less unabridged version of his dissertation, Holger Köhler not only presents a (new) system for the systematization of supply chain risks, he also develops a model for the factors that influence supplier risk and brings it together in a novel way that I haven’t seen before.
What are the most common supply chain and logistics risks in Germany? What risks does the logistics industry perceive? This study separates business risks from logistics providers risk, that is a novel approach, and this is perhaps the most complete overview of supply chain and logistics risks I have seen to date.
Supply chain risk management is a process with 5 evolutionary steps, involving no less than 17 underlying principles. The conceptual framework developed in this article clearly identifies the main principles of SCRM and develops a framework and definitions for disturbance, disruption, security, resilience and risk.
