Abstract

Supply chain risk management is of growing importance, as globalization extends supply chains and makes them more vulnerable to a wide range of disruptive events. Supply interruptions can be the result of large-scale natural diasters, terrorist attacks, plant fires, electrical blackouts, financial or political crises, and many other scenarios.
