Happy 200!
This is my 200th article on the SCRM Blog.
One of my goals for this year was to build a good foundation on supply chain management for you, the readers, to be able to browse through a collection of great articles on supply chain risk management, and related topics.

The rising number of reviews made it possible to have a separate category on SCRM Introduction. In nearly 20 articles I wrote about topics, like:

supply chain management in general (1, 2) and supply chain strategies (1, 2),
early risk related literature and the Bullwhip-Effect,
risk management in supply chains (1, 3, 3, 3, 5),
categorization of risks and management (1, 2, 3) and
special risks like disruptions (1, 2)

But these article only make up 10% of the now 200 articles published during the last 23 month!
If you are curious to learn more about supply chain risk management, just browse the archive or have a look at the categories and popular tags in the sidebar.
But now let’s go to this weeks news in supply chain management.
