Ben Benjabutr, at http://www.SCM-Operations.com, in Thailand, provides an interesting guest post in his Powerpoint explanation of supply chain resilience.
Risks in supply chains come in different terms– like variation, uncertainty, non-conformance, vulnerability and disruption. In the late 1990s, supply chain risk management emerged in academic literature. In 2000, research on the subject was conducted in the UK after transportation disruptions from fuel protests. Another research stream about resilience came in the United States after the 9-11 attacks in 2001. Then, in 2004, Martin Christopher and Helen Peck published their paper “Building the Resilient Supply Chain.” They defined resilience as “the ability of a system to return to its original state or move to a new, more desirable state after being disturbed“.
