This is the final part of my translation of the  Swedish book “Säkra företagets flöden”, published in 1999 by the Swedish Emergency Management Agency. Although 10 years hold, much of this handbook still holds true. This article takes a closer look at suppliers, and the current development towards more and more specialized components and tailor-made systems, where the supplier becomes maybe more important than the purchasing company.

Although going on 10 years hold, much of this handbook still holds true. I found it by accident when reading a  PhD thesis from Sweden on supply chain risk and the translation of the  Swedish book “Säkra företagets flöden”, published in 1999 by the Swedish Emergency Management Agency was supposed to be my Christmas pastime.  However, other things took priority, but now it’s time to finish this project. Today’s post will taker a closer look at the transportation system itself.

Continuing my previous post, which talked about raising the awareness towards disruption risks in general, today’s post will take a closer look at how to analyze your suppliers for potential disruption risks, and what questions that need to be asked to gain more insight into your supply chain.

“Secure the company’s flows” or “Säkra företagets flöden” in the original Swedish language is the title of a handbook published in 1999 by the Swedish Emergency Management Agency, the Swedish eqivalent to FEMA in the USA. Although 10 years hold, much of this handbook still holds true. I found it by accident when reading a  PhD thesis from Sweden on supply chain risk. This handbook deals with Business Continuity Management much more than just supply chain disruptions, but is well worth a read…for those capable of the Swedish language. For those not so versed in Swedish, in the coming days I will translate and highlight some of the topics covered in the book.
