Mitigation strategies for supply chain risks have have been discussed in the literature for a long time now. Khan and Burnes (2007) mention several strategies like:

  • Multiple sources of supply vs single sourcing
  • Buffers
  • Risk sharing/knowledge transfer
  • Proactive supply management

But it seems difficult to assign a value and maximum cost for these strategies. Xu and Nizick (2009) are filling this gap.
