Supply chains are exposed to a variety of risks that may result in supply chain disruptions. This course focuses on the management of such risks, in order to make supply chains more resilient. The course contains risk management, supply chain resilience, and analysis of critical infrastructure. The course aims to provide a basis for professional analysis and research on risk and security management in logistics and supply chain management, including:
- Theories and methods of risk and security management with regard to risk, threat and vulnerability;
- Risk management with risk analysis and risk assessment and management of vulnerabilities in customer and supplier relationships, infrastructure as well as logitics flows
- Analysis of how environmental changes affect flows in the supply chain (including globalization, outsourcing, consolidation, regionalization, customer requirements, legislation, e-commerce, international terrorism and demographic change) with regards to demand on security
- Preventive security at different levels, related to accidents, disasters, and genuine uncertainty (eg asymmetric information), through risk sharing, risk avoidance, risk reduction and risk transfer
- Environmentally sustainable transport flows, international relations and social segregation in the transportation of a vulnerability perspective
- Effective methods to increase supply chain resilience
