Supply Chain Risk Management: Minimizing Disruptions in Global Sourcing

By Kevin P. McCormack

Written to assist companies moving to the use of a global sourcing model for parts and materials procurement, this text addresses the issues of product and service flow disruptions. Unlike previous treatments, it goes beyond an overview of risk to provide and explain an exhaustive list of potential supply chain disruptions. Offering guidance on redesigning supply chains for better resiliency, this book is a complete guide for navigating the complexities inherent in the execution and management of global logistics and sourcing, supplier development and materials management. The book includes multi-industry case studies of supply chain disruptions from major corporations, including Target, GlaxoSmithKline, the Home Depot, and IBM.
