Kurzbeschreibung

The supply chain management approach is prevalent in economical practice today. Important improvements have been realized during the last years. However, the attempt to form lean supply chains by reducing buffer stocks and the concentration on fewer suppliers lead to an increasing vulnerability of supply chains. Numerous managers and researchers have experienced that beside the successes of supply chain management, the exposure to risk is growing for many companies.
Both the occurrence of new risks as well as reinforcement of traditional business risks causes this trend. Companies are depending increasingly on the risk situation and the risk management capabilities of other their partners as well as the supply chain as a whole.
