Recently, supply chain risk management has been attracting growing attention. Therefore, various methods, tools, and practices have been developed in this area. However, they usually are focused on the direct consequences of disruptions occurring in supply chains. Thus, the purpose of this article is to present an operational risk analysis method for supply chains, in which consequences of an adverse event occurrence are assessed based on two measures: (1) the direct consequences (disruption) of supply processes to customers, and (2) recovery time for a supply system. Based on research findings, we introduced a Petri nets model for mapping material flows along a supply chain. We implement the proposed analysis method in a selected company from the automotive industry. The performed final discussion confirmed the relevance of distinguishing the direct and indirect consequences of the risk assessment. It was also suggested that the results’ interpretation could be two-fold, which may be necessary for appropriate risk management tool selection.

“…Moreover, many definitions have been developed in known scientific works due to the plethora of studies on supply chain risk management. A summary and review of the existing definitions are presented, e.g., in [16]. In another work [17], the authors classify existing literature on risk sources' typology, including environmental factors, industry factors, organizational factors, problem-specific factors, and the decision-making process.…”

Risk Management Maturity Model for Logistic Processes

Recently, the maturity models for risk management are attracting growing attention. The obtained maturity level defines an assessment of an organization’s management competence. Therefore, as a set of various tools and practices, the maturity model is critical for a company’s overall risk maintenance strategy development and implementation. Thus, the purpose of this article is to present a model for risk management maturity for logistic processes. We investigated the main defined assessment areas for risk maturity model implementation in logistic systems. Based on research findings, we introduced a new risk maturity assessment area based on participation in the supply chain—cooperation at risk. The proposed model constitutes the base for a two-stage assessment method implementation, where the global maturity index is introduced. Finally, we implement the proposed two-stage assessment method to verify the proposed model’s diagnostic function and determine its labor intensity. The study confirmed that the five defined maturity areas (knowledge, risk assessment, process risk management, cooperation at risk, and risk monitoring) provide a complex diagnostic tool for risk maturity level identification and, based on the obtained results, allows to define an appropriate development strategy for a given decision-making environment.

“…The importance of this area issues may be confirmed, e.g., by the Supply Chain Resilience Reports, which have been published since 2009 (see: www.thebci.org, accessed on 15 May 2021). These reports inform about the level, range and cost of disruptions that organisations face and demonstrate how a disturbance in one organisation can spread out over the entire supply chain [1]. At the same time, it observed that many companies, such as Boeing, Cisco, Coca-Cola and Proctor and Gamble, are working with organisations across their supply chains to create resilience [2].…”

Tactical Risk Assessment Method for Resilient Fuel Supply Chains for a Military Peacekeeping Operation

The article focuses on research on the functioning of liquid fuel supply chains, supplying troops carrying out peacekeeping and stabilisation operations in a foreign territory. Timely and complete supplies of fuels in war conditions determine the achievement of the assumed goals of a military operation. They often determine the health and life of soldiers. For this reason, the role of building the resilience of supply chains to disruptions, the type and frequency of which is entirely different from the undesirable events occurring in civil goods flows, is increasing. Therefore, the critical concept supporting building the resilience of fuel supply chains is risk management in these chains. The authors have developed a risk analysis method that integrates the Kaplan and Garrick approach and the fuzzy theory. The analysis identifies the existing disturbances and assigns them to the individual phases of the supply process. To illustrate the applicability of the proposed method, the authors analyse nine scenarios for the three most important stages of the procurement process in terms of building the resilience of the entire chain: Planning, delivery and storage. The fuzzy theory estimates the risk level for the analysed scenarios of adverse events. The proposed method is universal. It can be implemented to analyse the resistance of supply chains of other materials. It can also support the decision-making process for those responsible for planning, organisation and proper functioning of supply systems in all high-risk conditions, not only in the zone of war and stabilisation operations.
