Introduction
Effective supply chain professionals need to fully comprehend the critical importance of risk management in the supply chain. They must ensure their organizations become industry pacesetters by managing their supply chains adeptly, ultimately achieving reduced costs while improving service levels.
However, the intricacies of global trade have introduced proportionally high levels of risk and uncertainty. This uncertainty begets a risk spiral characterized by heightened costs and diminished service levels. Risk is an inherent element within all supply chains. Still, these risks can be sidestepped, managed, or redirected through meticulous analysis, preparation, and strategic action.
Smart organizations must, therefore, devise and implement comprehensive supply chain risk management programs to manage risk, uncertainty, and variability while simultaneously aspiring to cut costs and heighten service quality.
