Risk management has become an essential tool in dealing with the risk issues in supply chains. The purpose of this paper lies in surveying the applications of risk management to supply chains and reviewing the existing literature. To achieve the above purpose, some representative works are...

Within the broader supply chain risk management research, supply chain disruptions have become a topic of interest for academic researchers in the last decade. This interest has been motivated by real world events which have caused major disruptions around the world in global supply chains for...

Telecom supply chains are subject to instabilities and uncertainties that make substantial the risks handled by the chain actors. This paper demonstrates that the exchange or sharing of reliable information improves both actors' and SC's performance. In particular, this paper presents a system...

Today supply chains leverage their partner's competencies and in the process also inherit the risks associated with various links of a supply chain. Although it is impossible to completely eliminate various risks, an environment can be created which helps to effectively mitigate risk. The most...

Managing risk and disruptions have emerged as issues of critical importance for today's globalised supply chains. In this work, we first provide an up-to-date taxonomy of the risks that supply chains are exposed to along with the appropriate solutions that can be employed to improve their...

The need of control and optimise the supply chain is now crucial for the firm operating in the actual economic environment. Some aspects such as globalisation, heavy dependence on transportation, communication infrastructures and lean manufacturing have led an increase in the vulnerability of...

Globalisation and technological evolution associated with critical socioeconomics changes altered the traditional supply chain (SC) nature, and the corresponding risk forms. Therefore, modern SCs are vulnerable to risks, and their effects (delays and disruptions of product, money, and...

Recently, the single-period, single-item newsboy problem for the case where demand distribution is limited (e.g., range, mean, mode, variance, symmetry) has been widely studied. However, the existing newsboy models with partial information are fit to risk-neutral inventory managers, and there...

A key issue in the estimation of energy hedges is the hedgers' attitude towards risk which is encapsulated in the form of the hedgers' utility function. However, the literature typically uses only one form of utility function such as the quadratic when estimating hedges. This paper addresses...
