<div><div><p class="AICopy" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">There is constant pressure on managers to improve the efficiency of their supply chains, allowing materials to move quickly and at low cost.&#160; This pressure has encouraged a stream of new initiatives and methods.&#160; But there is a growing realization that these new methods also bring unforeseen problems.&#160; In particular, they increase the supply chain&#8217;s vulnerability to disruptions.&#160; By removing the slack that used to protect supply chains from unforeseen events, they create inflexible chains where even a small, unexpected event can bring everything to a standstill.</p><p class="AICopy" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">&#160;</p><p class="AICopy" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">These unexpected events define the risks, and supply chain risk management is the function responsible for managing them.&#160; <i>Supply Chain Risk Management</i> introduces the principles of this function.&#160; It reviews the current thinking on the subject, describes methods that are most widely used, and shows where the subject is heading.&#160; It takes a straightforward approach, developing ideas in a logical sequence without being diverted into philosophical discussion or getting lost in the latest jargon.</p><p class="AICopy" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">&#160;</p>This book is aimed at anyone who wants to know about risk management and its growing impact on the supply chain.&#160; The early chapters outline the importance of the subject and review the core areas of risk and supply chain management.&#160; Then the book develops the principles of supply chain risk management, from the steps needed to introduce it to the complexities of emergency planning.</div></div>
