A future framework for measuring supply chain risk management and performance

Today’s article is a continuation (or should it rightfully have been the precursor?) of an article I presented two weeks ago. Supply chain risk management and performance: A guiding framework for future development is written by Clare Brindley and Bob Ritchie. In so many ways it is very similar to An emergent framework for supply chain risk management and performance measurement, another article by Clare Brindley and Bob Ritchie that has previously been reviewed on this blog, but in so many other ways it is also very different.

Measuring supply chain risk management and performance

This paper was suggested by one of my readers, and upon reading it I must admit that it IS one of the better papers on supply chain risk management I have come across this year: An emergent framework for supply chain risk management and performance measurement by Bob Ritchie and Clare Brindley. Not only do the authors convey in a clear and precise manner what supply chain risk management is all about; they also construct a framework that provides a description of the factors that affect the nature of the risk management responses in particular situations.

Categorization of Supply Chain Risk and Risk Management

In chapter 2 in Supply Chain Risk by Claire Brindley, Andreas Norrman and Robert Lindroth present a framework for assessing and positioning supply chain risk issues in their article Categorization of Supply Chain Risk and Risk Management. What I like about the framework is that it works along three dimensions, each highlighting different areas of research issues or managerial actions: 1) the Supply Chain itself, 2) Risk Management processes and 3) Types of Risk. The framework clearly shows how the dimensions are intertwined and related such that no issue can be distinctively separated from the other.
