Globalization and vast changing of business nature nowadays makes interdependence between organizations who shares the same supply network is becoming stronger. Any risk that occurs in one point of a supply chain could affect to the whole network. As a result, risk in supply chain is getting more complex and unpredictable. Since any kind of risk could potentially impede or even stop business activities of the whole supply chain therefore managing supply chain risk is essential. Moreover, to handle supply chain risk properly, the interrelationships between these risks should be identified. However, there is only few study which cover interrelationships between supply chain risks. This research is aiming to provide a proposed model of a supply chain interrelation risks based on case study in an petrochemical industry. Interpretive Approach Structural Modeling is utilized to develop the relationships between risks while weight determination for risk relationship is conducted using ...

Supply Chain (SC) is a process, which passes variety of materials and large amount of information among its several stages. In viewing of modern business environment, SC risks have a noteworthy impact on the continued operations of any business. Despite the risks and uncertainties, the existence of a business seeks to achieve profits and therefore managing those risks has become a key requirement for that. Even though giving prior attention to the risks associated with SC is very important for an apparel manufacturing organisation, the research regarding this concept has received less attention in global context as well as in the Sri Lankan context. Therefore, this paper aims to conduct a Risk Assessment (RA) and investigate the most critical SC risks in Sri Lankan Apparel manufacturing organisations. This study was approached through a multiple case study research method by carrying out five case studies within the apparel industry. The required data was collected through semistruc...

Risk assessment is an important process in the supply chain risk management system to identify the risk profile of an organization. This study is focused on identifying the risk assessment of Large-scale apparel manufacturing firms in Sri Lanka. The research investigates the risk assessment in the perspective of the supply chain management personnel as the focus group for this study. Risk matrix approach is used in the analysis process and critical supply chain risks are identified for development of risk response strategies. Twenty eight potential causes for exposing to the supply chain risk are assessed in this study. These risk factors are categorized under nature related risks, political system created risks, competitor & market generated risks, internal operations related risks, available capacity caused risks and information systems related risks. Index Terms—Apparel, risk assessment, risk matrix, supply chain.

Sustainability-related risk and vulnerability management have attained significant attention from academia and industry. Manufacturing industries in developing countries such as Pakistan are under severe economic pressure and striving to boost sustainable supply chain practices for achieving business excellence. In this context, the objectives of the present research are to examine the critical supply chain risks associated with sustainable development goals, namely social, economic, and environmental factors. The failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) technique is employed for categorizing the risk factors and Pareto analysis for highlighting the more crucial and risky factors. For this purpose, a large-scale survey was carried out in the textile industries of Pakistan to develop a risk mitigation model for sustainability-related risks and vulnerability in a textile supply chain (TSC). It captures the input expressions of experts for risk factors, namely severity (s), occurrence (...

In today’s global markets, characterized by extremely fast changes in technology and customer’s demand, and by product life cycle getting shorter and shorter, a single firm has not the ability to be competitive if it is not included in a network that, operating as a single entity, is able to react to demand dynamism and volatility. Therefore, existing supply chains, structured in a global sourcing view, are highly vulnerable to perturbations resulting from a strong dependence on other network’s players, such as suppliers or logistics providers. Consequently, the need for communication and cooperation is always increasing. In this complex and competitive context, properly assessing and managing risks connected to the different stages of the value chain, as well as external and not directly controllable risks, means being able to ensure continuity in supply. This paper focuses on the particular field of the fashion retail industry since its highly unpredictable demand and extremely sh...
