Supply Chain Risk 2009

Supply Chain Risk – The dark side of supply chain management. That was the title of a guest lecture I gave at Molde University College last year. This year I was asked to do the same lecture, and I said yes. Since I have come one year further in my research into supply chain risk, naturally I have discovered many new references, and so the 2009 version is a bit different from the 2008 version. The basic theme is the same, but many details and figures have changed.

Videos

To make things a bit more intesting for the students who had to endure me for three hours, I also decided to  include some videos this time.

First, there is the same as last year BBC News about how piracy can lead to supply chain disruption, which is no less important this year.

Then, I inluced a a video where Christopher Tang speaks about robust strategies for mitigating supply chain disruptions.

Finally, I added futurist Patrick Dixon on events he calls “Wildcards”; the latter video a business consultant’s view of high-impact events:

    Jan,
    Thanks for your great post.

    I truly believe that in the past few years, procurement leaders & supply chain managers have recognized the benefits of strategic sourcing and understood the supply chain risk. Well established players like Zycus, Ariba, Emptoris etc are helping organizations to cope with supply chain risks

    But do you think that its time now to go beyond the current metrics of managing risk like financial details and perhaps be more proactive by incorporating supplier market intelligence tools. Perhaps tracking of supplier performances in the industry etc?
