Can commercial logistics’ ideas and solutions work in humanitarian supply chains? No. Why? Well, perhaps they could work, but in most cases they won’t. [ ... ]

 Supply Chain Risks can be classified as either one of these three, Deviation, Disruption or Disaster, and can be approached using either a Preventive or an Interceptive approach; the former attempts to build in risk tolerance, the latter attempts to contain the damage or impact of an undesired event. [ ... ]  The book is a collection of excellent articles by various researchers in supply chain risk from mostly Germany and Austria. To make up for yesterday’s perhaps overly harsh critique of just one article from this book, this is a full and proper content review. [ ... ]  Should an editor care? I believe he should. The editor of this book doesn’t, I simply cannot avoid saying it, and I will explain why. While many of the articles/chapters maintain an excellent academic standard, one of the chapters does not at all hold up to any standard. In fact, it is so bad it makes me wonder how this could have slipped by editorial control? [ ... ]  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. [ ... ]  Christopher Tang from UCLA talks about three strategies for building a robust supply chain, related to (1) supply, (2) product, and (3) demand. [ ... ]  I’ve said so before, sometimes new articles are found in new and unlikely places and here is a chance to learn something new. [ ... ]  Another book by someone from the ISCRIM gang? No, not this time, or perhaps, yes, after all, since several of the ISCRIM members have contributed to it. The book serves a twofold purpose: 1) Understanding and assessing risk in the supply chain, and 2) Decision making and risk mitigation in the supply chain. [ ... ]  This book shows you how everyone is involved in the supply chain itself, often on several levels at the same time, how the chain is exposed to an infinite number of constantly changing threats; how weak links in the chain represent threats and vulnerabilities, to profitability, continuity, safety and health; and how these threats can be mananged, reduces and eliminated. [ ... ]  I am very much impressed with this extensive literature study on risk and uncertainty within Supply Chain Management. It is – by my judgement – better than Vanany et al. (2009).
