Supply chain vulnerability (risk) and robustness constructs taken from Vlajic et al. (2012)
| Constructs and practices | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|
| Supply chain disturbances | “A minor or major deviation, or failure of one or more logistics processes triggered by unexpected events in the supply chain or its environment resulting in poor performance of the process itself, company and potentially along the supply chain in a given time period” | |
| Redesign strategies | “Sets of strategic and tactical plans and operational actions that aim to reduce the vulnerability of supply chains based on one or more redesign principles that make changes in elements of supply chain scenario” | |
| Supply chain robustness | “The degree to which a supply chain shows an acceptable performance in (each of) its key performance indicators (KPIs) during and after an unexpected event that caused disturbances in one or more logistics processes” | |
| Supply chain scenario | Is an internally consistent view of a possible instance of the logistics supply chain concept, i.e. the managed, managing, and information systems and organization structure” | |
| Internal sources of supply chain vulnerability | Managed system | This “refers to the physical design of the network and a facility and all other elements that perform logistic activities (such as equipment, vehicles and people), as well as product characteristics” |
| Managing system | This “refers to planning, control and co-ordination of logistic processes in the supply chain while aiming at realizing strategic supply chain objectives and logistical objectives within the restrictions set by the supply chain configuration | |
| Information system | This “refers to information and decision support systems within each of the decision layers of the managing system (from annual to daily planning), as well as the IT infrastructure needed” | |
| Organization structure | This “refers to tasks, authorities and responsibilities of the departments and executives with the organization and supply chain as well as the coordination of tasks in order to realize defined objectives” | |
| External sources of supply chain vulnerability | Financial sources | Financial sources of supply chain vulnerability include such aspects as, market price fluctuation, currency fluctuation and regional economic downturns |
| Market sources | Market sources of vulnerability include risks originating from such factors as market decline, variability, and seasonality in availability of raw materials, variability in quality of raw materials and variability in demands | |
| Legal sources | This depicts vulnerability arising from change in laws and regulations along with change in country dependent rules in food safety | |
| Infrastructural sources | Infrastructural sources of vulnerability include low level of development in transport infrastructure, not sufficient traffic capacity and uneven level of technological development (industry) | |
| Societal sources | These sources of vulnerability include political unrests, criminal acts, negative public reactions, industrial actions and changing customer attitudes towards product/process | |
| Environmental sources | These sources of vulnerability include natural disasters, e.g. geological and meteorological, biological factors, manmade hazards and other unpredictable factors | |
