I just realized that my favorite book on crafting diagrams to better communicate in a graphical way (Envisioning Information) just has been turned into a paper on mapping supply chains.
This is a review of another chapter of the book by Zsidisin and Ritchie (Supply Chain Risk). The book can be bought at amazon.com, if you are interested in reading more.
I already reviewed chapter 15 on Behavioral Risks in Supply Networks.

Paper
Year:
2012
Some say that tablet computers are a great fit, not only for games and surfing the web, but for business applications as well.
But since the tablet computer is not much more than a big screen, software is key to a productive use of the pad.
To test this hypothesis I picked the iPad as an example for a tablet computer, because:
I own one,
there are more apps available than for any other platform,
Supply chain mapping can be a great tool to foster the understanding and from its results improve a supply chain network overall. Supply chain mapping can also be used to analyze the risks of a supply chain and improve its resilience (for an example in the blog follow this link).

Supplier risk assessment and monitoring for the automotive industry
Year:
2008
A typical supply chain risk management process consists of four steps: risk identification, assessment, management and monitoring. From those steps, one of the most neglected step is the risk monitoring.
Risk monitoring implies two different actions: Continuous risk assessment and actions, as soon as pre-defined limits are reached.
So this article sheds light on the risk monitoring, from an article by Blackhurst, Scheibe and Johnson (“Supplier risk assessment and monitoring for the automotive industry”).
Today I picked a special article on corporate risks. “How Risky is your Company?” by Robert Simons of the Harvard Business School. Its a more business oriented view on how companies should handle risks, internally. But since internal risk management can be seen as a part of supply chain risk management, I also include it here.
Today I present you only one chapter of a great book by Wu and Blackhurst: “Managing Supply Chain Risk and Vulnerability” (which can be bought on amazon.com here).
Sometimes I am really amazed by the research topics of others. Even though I already read much about simulation and its potential benefits, up to now I have never seen a analysis of supply chain simulation performance on a larger sample. So I would like to share those insights here.
Already some time ago I wrote about Systematic Review, a literature analysis approach that should lead to a well founded overview of a specific research field. Since I left out the history and some insights last time I wanted to extend on my last article here.
