    Study Notes

    Managing Supply Chain Risk

    • Supply chain risk management involves assessing internal and external risks, such as order quantities and external events.
    • A seven-stage approach to managing supply chain risk is suggested in Figure 10.3.
    • Lack of awareness of the wider supply/demand network is common in many companies.
    • Improving the supply chain involves simplification, process reliability, and reducing complexity.
    • Identifying critical paths involves understanding the vulnerability of nodes and links in the supply network.
    • Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is a useful tool for prioritizing supply chain risk management.
    • Contingency plans and statistical process control are used to manage critical nodes and links.
    • Limited visibility in supply chains can cause problems to become visible too late for effective action.
    • Establishing a supply chain continuity team is essential for managing supply chain risk.
    • Business continuity teams should be expanded to address risks within the wider supply chain.
    • Risk from internal control systems, environmental factors, and critical paths must be managed effectively.
    • Understanding the supply chain and improving network visibility are crucial for effective supply chain risk management.
