Cry Wolf?

Posted on 2015-12-07 by

Why is it that we fear so much? Frank Furedi shows how the notion of all kinds of vulnerability and possibilistic (worst likely) risk thinking has dethroned probabilistic (most likely) risk thinking.

Taleb, Hamel, Holling…and I

Posted on 2015-11-29 by

I really should no longer be so surprised that my idea of how to differ robustness from flexibility from agility from resilience resonates with quite a number of people, including Si Alhir.

The capability concept

Posted on 2015-11-25 by

Capability is an important measure in adressing vulnerabilities and in assessing resilience. Is there a way to quantitatively describe what capability entails?

Maritime transport is a vital backbone of today’s global and complex supply chains. Unfortunately, the specific vulnerability of maritime supply chains has not been widely researched. Perhaps because it is such an obvious part of today’s supply chains that it is not looked at specifically, and just assumed to be part of the wider picture.

Vulnerability and resilience of transport systems

Posted on 2015-09-08 by

Essentially, risk management is all about mitigation, whereas adaptation lays the groundwork for resilience. Risk management is only about preparedness, response, and recovery. By adding adaptation to those three we also add resilience.

Risk and Vulnerability in Virtual Enterprise Networks

Posted on 2010-05-03 by

Conceptual in its approach and drawing from other areas of research, this chapter introduces four distinct groups of VENS, namely Constrained, Directed, Limited and Free VEN, and concludes that VEN risk management can and should learn from supply chain risk management.

What goes into resilience?

Posted on 2010-04-30 by

Resilience, in essence, is bridging vulnerabilities by honing capabilities. Seldom have I seen such a comprehensive yet to the point article on supply chain resilience that satisfies both academia and the industry at the same time.

Supply chain vulnerability: Mitigation strategies

Posted on 2010-04-13 by

Which mitigation strategy that works best when faced with which supply chain catastrophe? This is a paper that every supply chain manager should read, at least once.

Risk versus vulnerability

Posted on 2010-04-09 by

In this paper safety and security are brought together in a unifying risk and vulnerability framework that covers both accidental and malicious events.

Security and continuity of supply

Posted on 2010-01-06 by

Today’s paper describes how Finland views logistics and supply as important to national security and how the LOGHU project was created to develop a framework for identification and ranking of threats and corresponding countermeasures.

Risk and resilience in maritime logistics

Posted on 2009-12-16 by

Risks in maritime supply chains are perhaps an underresearched area and consequently, the article outlines a rationale for why it is necessary to develop competence about risk, vulnerability and resilience management in maritime supply chains.

Risk & Vulnerability

Posted on 2009-12-04 by

Supply chains are increasingly becoming complex webs and networks and are no longer straightforward chains with just a few links between supplier and customer.

Road Vulnerability

Posted on 2009-11-27 by

Today we are going back in time, to one of the seminal articles in road vulnerability. It is a conceptual paper that provides the basis for why road vulnerability needs to be a more important issue .

Book Review: Managing Supply Chain Risk and Vulnerability

Posted on 2009-11-11 by

Another book by someone from the ISCRIM gang? No, not this time, or perhaps, yes, after all, since several of the ISCRIM members have contributed to it. The book serves a twofold purpose: 1) Understanding and assessing risk in the supply chain, and 2) Decision making and risk mitigation in the supply chain.

Critical: Beer Distribution

Posted on 2009-11-06 by

Beer distribution is a sector that will be highly affected by a supply chain disruption…in the UK. You could even say that beer distribution is part of the UK critical infrastructure.

Graph Theory to the rescue

Posted on 2009-11-04 by

While I know that Graph Theory has many applications, I never expected to see it in Supply Chain Management.

Corporate vulnerability

Posted on 2009-07-24 by

In this study, Svensson investigates the areas, the causes and the contingency planning of corporate vulnerability in upstream and downstream supply chains.Corporate vulnerability in supply chains stems from time dependence, functional dependence and relational dependence.

BBC World Debate: Disasters – Prepare or React?

Posted on 2009-07-04 by

Should we actually bother to spend time and money on disaster mitigation, or should we rather focus on preparing for disaster recovery? Is re-active better than pro-active? To what extent can we really reduce the dangers from future disasters? Does investing in prevention divert funds from rescue efforts when disasters do occur?

Resilience revisited

Posted on 2009-06-18 by

How many ways are there for defining vulnerability and criticality, really? Traditionally, risk matrixes have a likelihood/impact approach, but not always. Yesterday, I was examining a criticality/vulnerability matrix.
