“…Low costs, simplicity of use, and high compressive quality are the primary components to be thought of for a given application. Inorganic (mineral) concrete based on the Portland cement has inadequacies: poor flexural quality, low elasticity, high porosity, freeze defrost weakening, pulverization by destructive synthetics, thus forward (Bozkurt & İslamoğlu, 2013).…”

Purpose: This paper aims to identify, analyze, model the risk elements in the supply chain and further set future trends to evaluate risks in other domains of cement manufacturing industry. Cement is the second most consumed material in the world, has a fast supply chain in the global market. This has driven the authors to study the supply chain risks for this sector.Design/methodology/approach: Through a detailed literature review and interaction with industry experts, 19 risk elements have been identified that may disrupt the supply chain activities. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is used to prioritize these risk elements based on the risk priority number (RPN). RPN is derived from the severity, occurrence, and detectability of these risk elements in various process functions of the supply chain. 10 risk elements are selected from this analysis that have higher priority number. Further, these elements have been fed to the Interpretive Structural Model (ISM) that derived the contextual interrelationship among these elements. Further MICMAC analysis has been implemented on the risk elements based on their driving and dependency power.Findings: Unpredicted heavy rainfall and energy shortages have been identified as the root causes of other risk elements. Increasing turnaround time in logistics and fleet adjustment during heavy demand, having the highest dependence power, are considered as the most important risk elements in the cement industry supply chain. Originality/value: This is the first study in the domain of supply chain risks which has analyzed and modelled risks for cement industry. This work would provide the decision-makers of cement industry to focus on the specific risk elements for reducing disruptions in the supply chain.

“…The applications of polymer cement are limited to small-sized high-end markets, such as waste chemical storage, water pipes, floor tiles, etc. [17][18][19][20][21], mainly because of their high strength, high corrosion resistance, and aesthetic features.…”
