Abstract:
Supply Chain Risk Management is receiving increased attention in recent years.
With events such as 9/11, the foot and mouth outbreak in Europe and hurricane
Katrina all impacting on organisations and the global supply chains they are
part of. Trends including the rapid growth in global sourcing and offshore
manufacturing; the continued move to reduce the supplier base; industry
consolidation and the centralisation of distribution all change the risk profile
of supply chains and businesses. Supply Chain Risk Management is now a priority
on many CEOs’ agenda
