A Christmas To Remember

Posted on 2020-12-23 by

This has truly been a year of continuous supply chain disruptions, and many businesses have felt the effects of the pandemic. I realize now that I should have seized the opportunity long ago to reinstate this blog in the early months of 2020, not now, when it it is nearly over.

Shippers, carriers and disruptions

Posted on 2012-02-11 by

While carriers focus on the immediate and short-term impact and how to solve the situation, .i.e how to deliver on time if still possible, shippers focus more on the strategic and long-term impact and on how to avoid the situation, i.e. how to prevent this from happening again.

Estimation of disruption risk

Posted on 2011-12-29 by

Here is a new model that links disruption risk to disruption source, that covers all flow-related disruption risks in the total supply chain from natural resources to delivered final product, and that is seen from the angle of an individual focal unit in the supply chain.

Disruptions in supply networks

Posted on 2011-06-19 by

Supply chain disturbances and supply chain disruptions. Not the same and very different from each other. The former can be managed and solved within an established supply chain, the latter often requires establishing a new supply network. Understanding this difference is crucially important.

Are supply and demand elasticity a risk?

Posted on 2011-03-24 by

This paper describes the performance of supply chains based on their elasticities of supply and demand. The model can be used to predict a supply chain’s ability to respond to supply interruptions, cost increases, and demand shifts, while also quantifying the degree to which it is prone to the bullwhip effect.

2010 – the year of catastrophe

Posted on 2011-02-20 by

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal, an article that paints 2010 as the year of the catastrophe, and the insurance company Swiss Re estimates that worldwide economic losses from natural catastrophes and man-made disasters reached $222 billion last year – more than triple the losses in 2009.

The impact of supply chain glitches

Posted on 2010-11-03 by

This is an investigation of the effects on shareholder wealth of supply chain glitches that resulted in production or shipment delays, using a sample of 519 announcements made during 1989-2000. On average, shareholder value is decrease by near 11% following an announcement of supply chain problems.

The impact of supply chain disasters

Posted on 2010-11-01 by

Disasters. The result: Damaged infrastructure. End result: Disrupted supply chains. But how do disasters really impact supply chains? Is it different upstream or downstream the supply chain?

Risky decisions – just do it, or not?

Posted on 2010-09-29 by

Choosing the right supplier is a risky decision. Chose the wrong supplier, and you may face a severe disruption in your supply chain. Chose the right supplier, and all goes well. Hopefully. But is it possible to judge risk objectively?

WCTR 2010

Posted on 2010-07-11 by

How do Norwegian freight carriers handle the impacts of transportation disruptions? Are “bad” locations synonymous with “bad” logistics? That is the title of my presentation at the World Conference on Transport Research, WCTR 2010, in Lisbon, Portugal, this week. The answer is No.

How Norwegian freight carriers handle disruptions

Posted on 2010-06-14 by

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?

State of the art in SCRM?

Posted on 2010-06-11 by

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.

Volcanic Ash Cloud Day 5

Posted on 2010-04-19 by

While it is fair to assume that volcanic eruptions are in the business continuity plans of most airlines, it is probably not so fair to assume that 5 days of sudden air traffic restrictions is in the business continuity plans of most companies reliant on frequent air travel.

Can we do without air traffic?

Posted on 2010-04-18 by

The German newspaper Die Welt has an interesting, semi-humorous article, looking at the possible impacts of a volcano scenario that lasts one week, one month and one year. Can we do without air traffic?

Business continuity 101

Posted on 2010-04-17 by

This is the 3rd day with severe transportation and thus supply chain disruptions all over Europe, due to the volcanic ash clod from Iceland, forcing travellers, cargo shippers and logistics providers to seek alternative solutions. In essence this is a very practical lesson in business continuity.

Transportation – the forgotten staple

Posted on 2010-03-28 by

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.
