In
this talk, we provide an overview of how risk management and flexibility
capability in the supply chain are comprehended in supply chain design and
operations. Specifically, we provide a
framework for detecting and responding to supply chain risk events and how the
anticipation of such events impact the overall supply chain performance. We also discuss how supply chain flexibility
can be "built in" to the supply chain and help mitigate key risks.
