Paper
Year:
2010
In his fourth video podcasts Professor Richard Wilding talks about Supply Chain Strategies. I found it quite interesting, so I would like to give you a short summary of it here. If you are interested you can just download the podcast for free, you find a link in the reference section.
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.

This item is already from 2009, but still very funny: Eric Cartman from South Park singing Poker Face (originally by Lady GaGa). And this is my way to end week 16 of 2012.
For me, this week was about consolidation of my certificates and credentials to prepare my curriculum vitae and other documents for my upcoming application phase.
Today I have been reading the paper by Zacharia, Nix and Lusch on Supply Chain Collaboration. The goal of the paper was to assess firm-level business performance outcomes of collaboration projects. This was done using a survey of nearly 500 supply chain professionals.

My hard drive just crashed. Well, one of two I use to store all a my private media. The disks were arranged as RAID 0. And the 0 already indicates that there is zero redundancy. So the data is gone.
