Risk and Performance within Supply Chains - Case of Moroccan Industries

Abstract

The big challenge for each company is the implementation of an appropriate risk management strategy. Through this work, we seek to draw up an inventory of Moroccan companies supply chain. The objective is to identify the main risks, their relationship with the performance of the supply chain and to establish an overview of the risk management systems. For this reason, a research model was developed and concretized by quantitative data collected from 29 Moroccan companies. The analysis of the data show that the performance of the supply chain is strongly influenced by the importance of supply chain risk in particular the supplier and demand risks, and leads to insist on the importance of integrating a device adapted to the management of these Risks, especially in the upstream part of the supply chain.

Suppliers Selection in Consideration of Risks by a Neural Network

“…The objective of this model is to help decision-makers minimize the risks associated with the downstream and upstream parts of the company, given their very negative impact on supply chain performance [26][27][28]. The choice of the most efficient suppliers will ensure the minimization of the appearance of supply-related risks and their impact on the performance of the supply chain.…”

Effect of Firm Characteristics on Sources of Supply and Demand Risks: An Empirical Investigation on Moroccan Industrial Firms

“…Several works in the literature address various types of risks and sources of risks [7], [8], [9]. Our study focuses on demand and supply risks, given their very negative impact on supply chain performance [10], [11], [12], [13]. Indeed, disruptions in the company's operations due to supplier or customer issues can be disastrous.…”
