Companies face a variety of risks resulting from cost reduction
strategies, rationalization measures, global sourcing, and
outsourcing activities. Due to the large number of actors involved,
extremely close ties emerge, which significantly increase supply
chains vulnerability to disruptions this has been shown again and
again in the past few years. Against this background, the aspect of
supply continuity is of increasing importance for all activities
that relate to procurement, logistics, and supply chain management.
Its objective is to ensure the continuous operation of supply
chains, i.e., the uninterrupted flow of material, information, and
coordination from the initial supplier to the end customer.
Therefore, it is necessary to adopt adequate measures that take
into consideration not only potential losses but also potential
gains (so-called speculative risks).
With this book, the concept of Supply Chain Safety Management is
introduced. The concept itself is embedded in a comprehensive and
dynamic management process. Depending on a supply chain s
individual objectives, a set of courses of action is offered for
any risk factors whether they are identifiable and quantifiable or
not. The practicability of Supply Chain Safety Management is
highlighted by various case studies.
The book Supply Chain Safety Management: Achieving Security and
Robustness in Logistics targets both the areas of science and of
practice. First, the state of the art in research is reflected and
valuable impulses for new and respectively for further research
fields are provided by taking into consideration the points of view
of scientists and practitioners in the business environment. Next,
theoretically well substantiated, modern approaches and tools
applicable to the business world are offered, an impetus for new
ideas and fields of positioning is given and best practice examples
are presented allowing a fruitful exchange of experiences between
practitioners."
