Supply Chain Risk Management for Macro Risks

This new case study focuses on the macro risks associated with relying on global supply chains. It addresses large events including floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, and tornadoes; manmade disasters such as wars and economic crises; and technical disasters ranging from transport accidents and explosions to fires, gas leaks, and industrial accidents. Coverage includes risk classification; strategic, tactical, and operational issues; and a complete supply chain resilience model designed to help both students and practitioners effectively integrate macro risks into planning.
