Quantify SC risks - This Week in Supply Chain Management (11 / 2012)

Week 11, one fifth of 2012 is already gone and there is even less time until the end of the world, I just hope this will not effect supply chains for the holidays too much…
I did find some interesting articles, so have a look and let me know what you think on Twitter.

Webinar

• Again we start with CSCMP’ Supply Chain Quarterly. They just announced a webinar on “Segmenting Your Supply Chain for Success”, which is free and will take place on April, 4th. (Sign Up)

Research

• I just stumbled on a recent master thesis published in January on “Quantifying Default Risk in Supplier Portfolios”, which I wanted to recommend here. (University of Twente, NL)

Articles

• Continuing in this vein: The supply chain standard summarized some results of a study on how supply chain risks are quantified in practice. (Supply Chain Standard)
• Forbes CIO Central has a really nice guest post by Linda Conrad of Zurich Financial Services on the implications of the Japan tsunami. (Forbes)
