Estimation of disruption risk exposure in supply chains

Summary, in English

The purpose of the paper is to provide more knowledge on how to

estimate disruption risk exposure in the supply chain by developing a

conceptual estimation model. The purpose is also to shortly illustrate and

discuss by help of a case the possibilities to adapt this theoretical model for use

in everyday practice.<br>

The developed model, which links disruption risk to disruption source,

covers all flow-related disruption risks in the total supply chain from natural

resources to delivered final product, seen from the angle of an individual focal

unit in the supply chain. The model classifies the risk exposure into 15 different

risk exposure boxes, of which 12 have ‘expected result impact’ and three have

‘known result impact’, providing a total negative result impact.<br>

The positioning of the model against other theoretical models revealed that

the developed model presents a more complete and partly new structure for

estimation of disruption risk exposure.
