my PUBLIC PRESENCE

WCTR 2010

Are “bad” locations synonymous with “bad” logistics? That is the title of my presentation at the World Conference on Transport Research, WCTR 2010, in Lisbon, Portugal, this week. Norway, unlike much of central Europe, has a very sparse transportation network with few mode options (rail, road, sea or air) and few link options within each mode. How does that impact on logistics operations and how do Norwegian freight carriers handle transportation disruptions?

How Norwegian freight carriers handle supply chain disruptions

freight supply chain disruptions Transportation networks, and in particular road networks are an integral part of supply chains, and in regions with sparse networks this road network becomes very important, since in a possible worst-case scenario no suitable alternative exists for deliveries to or from these communities. How are the supply chains of companies located in sparse transportation networks affected by transportation disruptions? What are typical disruptions in certain locations or for certain types of business, and how do businesses and carriers counter supply chain disruptions? Are bad locations synonymous with bad logistics?

Risk and Vulnerability in Virtual Enterprise Networks

A month ago I posted on my first publication, a book chapter on A Conceptual Framework for Risk and Vulnerability in Virtual Enterprise Networks in Managing Risk in Virtual Enterprise Networks: Implementing Supply Chain Principles, edited by Stavros Ponis from NTUA in Athens, Greece, and published by IGI Global. A month ago, the book was merely announced on the publisher’s website, now it is fully present. Not only do I have the honor of opening the book by being the first chapter, but – as I just found out – I also have the honor of having the free sample chapter for download…making my thoughts available for criticism for the whole Internet world, not just the inquisitive reader who stumbles upon this book in the university library and decides to read it.

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.

Are risks in virtual enterprise networks different from supply chains?

MITIP 2009 It is not unusual for suppliers in a supply chain to come together and act as a Virtual Enterprise Network (VEN) and today’s supply chains exhibit many VEN-like features. Is managing risks in Virtual Enterprise Networks different from managing risks in supply chains? With this in mind I submitted a paper to MITIP2009, the 11th International Conference on the Modern Information Technology in the Innovation Processes of the Industrial Enterprises, to be held in Bergamo, Italy, in October.
