Managing Risks in the Supply Chain Course

Introduction:

To achieve growth and maintain a competitive edge, organizations must efficiently manage their supply chains to balance low costs with high service levels. However, international trade is fraught with high levels of risk and uncertainty, which can lead to a risk spiral, resulting in increased costs and diminished service levels. While risks are inherent in every supply chain, proactive measures can be taken to minimize their likelihood and impact.

Organizations must therefore develop strategies to manage risks, uncertainties, and variability without escalating costs or compromising service quality.
