I don’t always keep up with the subjects of my reviews, and today I was very saddened to learn that David Kaye passed away more than a year ago. David Kaye was a leading author, lecturer, examiner and workshop leader on risk management and business continuity subjects.
How the toy industry handles supply chain risk is applicable to many other industries as well. While few of the risks faced by toy makers are unique to the industry, the combination of risks is daunting.
An empirical analysis of supply chain risk management in the German automotive industry shows that the group using reactive supply chain risk management seems to do better in terms of disruptions resilience or the reduction of the bullwhip effect, whereas the group pursuing preventive supply chain risk management seems to do better as to flexibility or safety stocks.
In “Risk management in a dynamic society: a modelling problem” author Jens Rasmussen argues that risk management includes several levels ranging from legislators, over managers and work planners, to system operators.
SRMBOK is a vast and practically all-encompassing repository of knowledge, filled with accepted best practices, innovations and research in the evolving field of security risk management.
Risk. The probability of an event occurring and the consequences of the event occurring. Does it have to be like that or is there a different, or perhaps even a better way?
We live in a world that is full of risk, risks that we to a large degree have created ourselves, and naturally occuring risk hardly exists anymore. That is a risk society.
This is not so much a book about risk management in logistics, but more a book about resilience management in logistics, where the authors develop a brilliant framework for how to improve a company’s resilience.
AON has now published a people risk map that shows which countries are high or low risk. The accompanying report provides a comparative overview of risks associated with recruitment, employment and relocation in 90 cities worldwide.
This paper presents some fundamental concerns about the current trend towards global outsourcing and its consequences. Yes, it may be cutting the costs, but it is not cutting the risks.
How are the supply chains of companies located in sparse transportation networks affected by transportation disruptions? What are typical disruptions in certain locations or for certain types of business, and how do businesses and carriers counter supply chain disruptions?
The article lists and discusses eight risk definitions, and then suggests an alternative and comprehensive definition that captures all aspects of risk.
I do have a lecture on supply chain risk, but not in webinar style. Perhaps it’s time to reconsider.
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.
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.
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.
