Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You don’t have to outrun the bear ... you just have to outrun the other guy. Often in business we only have to run a bit faster than our competitors to be successful. The same is true in risk management. While we would always like to anticipate and prevent risk from happening, when risk events do occur being faster, flexible, and more responsive than others can make a world of difference. Supply Chain Risk Management: An Emerging Discipline gives you the tools and expertise to do just that. While the focus of the book is on how you can react better and faster than the others, the text also helps you understand how to prevent certain risks from happening in the first place. The authors detail a risk management framework that helps you reduce the costs associated with risk, protect your brand and reputation, ensure positive financial outcomes, and develop visible, predictable, resilient, and sustainable supply chains. They provide access to a cloud-based, end-to-end supply chain risk assessment "Heat Map" that illustrates the maturity of the chain through the various stages. It should not come as a surprise to anyone that the world is a riskier place than it was just 15 years ago. A survey used to calculate the Allianz Risk Barometer recently concluded for the first time that supply chain risk is now the top concern of global insurance providers. For most organizations this new reality requires major adjustments, some of which will not be easy. This book helps you understand the emerging discipline called supply chain risk management. It explains the relevant concepts, supplies a wide variety of tools and approaches to help your organization stay ahead of its competitors, and takes a look at future directions in risk management—all in a clear, concise presentation that gives you practical advice and helps you develop actionable strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combined capabilities and performance of US weapon systems are unmatched throughout the world, ensuring that US military forces have the advantage over any adversary . The US government spends huge amounts of capital and manpower to develop and acquire advanced equipment for defense purposes. Unfortunately, only a few of such acquisition programs were successful . Many of them, including F-35 and F-22, seem to have failed than succeeded. The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) has reported extensively on problems in cost, schedule overruns, and performance breakdowns for major defense acquisition programs. Combining multiple case studies (on F-35 and F-22 programs) and a statistical analysis of the FY2015 Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs) data from GAO, we look into the frequent challenges encountered by such programs. Focused on the areas of: program management and supply chain risk management, we will explore industry and government prospectives. Our objective is to shed light on a fundamental issue in government acquisitions: "What conditions are necessary for successful procurement?" Identifying these conditions can lead to increased efficiency by helping the stakeholders to determine best practices and allocation of resources. This thesis first provides a statistical analysis on the data of FY2015 Portfolio of MDAPs, with the objective of identifying statistically significant factors for the delays and cost overruns. We provide an overall assessment on the performance of these programs, and study the impact of project age, quantity changes, service type and contractor on the total acquisition cost overrun, unit cost overrun and the schedule delay. Based on public data, collected from GAO's reports and other publicly available sources, we identify issues in program and supply chain management practices of two large-scale acquisitions (F-22 and F-35). We compare the similarities and differences between the two MDAPs led by the largest global defense contractor, Lockheed Martin (LM). Our event analysis looks into the causes for the major delays and setbacks of these programs, outlines the important challenges on schedule, cost and execution in MDAPs, and relates the causes to their program and supply chain management strategies. We analyze and classify the causes by technical, managerial and governmental categories, provide the lessons learned, and recommend remedial strategies. We also provide a game theory explanation of the rationales behind the delays and cost overrun, and comment on the best practices and recent changes of the government's regulations / policy. This dissertation contributes to the literature of government acquisitions in the following ways: First, despite the significant news media coverage of the two fifth-generation tactical aircrafts, there is no comprehensive case study (and event analysis) on them. Our research is the first attempt to systematically collect, summarize and analyze the major setbacks of these programs; Second, unlike the literature that focuses mostly on program management, our work also takes the supply chain management perspective by studying and tracking the performance of, not only the major contractors, but also their supply chains, and their roles in the development and setbacks of the programs; Third, our statistical analysis of the FY2015 MDAPs data, provides additional perspectives and insights on the driving factors behind cost overrun and schedule delays, as well as their connections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Supply Chain Risk Management is an issue that many companies face and yet few companies know how to deal with it in a systematic and pragmatic manner. While avoiding and reducing supply chain risks are certainly preferable, developing ways to restore and stabilize supply chain operations rapidly after a major disruption is critical for managing global supply chains. Sodhi and Tang present important concepts, frameworks, strategies, and analyses that are essential for managing supply chain risks. Not only does this book suggest some practical ways to work with different partners to manage the risks that are present in a global supply chain, it creates a framework that would enable practitioners to engage researchers to work on this important area.” —Thomas A. Debrowski, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Operations, Mattel, Inc. “When a firm outsources its operations to external suppliers, the firm is vulnerable to major and rare disruptions that can occur at any link in the global supply chain. Because these disruptions rarely occur, few firms take commensurable actions to identify, assess, mitigate and respond to various types of supply chain risks. By introducing frameworks and concepts along with several case studies and a review of academic literature, Sodhi and Tang treat this important subject with practical relevance and academic rigor. This book will bring practitioners and researchers to develop effective and efficient ways to manage supply chain risks.” —Marshall L. Fisher, UPS Professor, Professor of Operations and Information Management and Co-Director of Fishman-Davidson Center for Service and Operations Management, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania “This book ties observations in practice to methodologies and research. The rich case examples motivated the approaches and methodologies used to mitigate risks, and in the course of doing so, Sodhi and Tang provided insights on existing and new research opportunities. As a result, this book is highly relevant to both practitioners and academics. Also, the book is also written with management lessons on how risks can be mitigated, and how risks can be contained once disruptions have occurred. As such, it is also a book for management to gain insights and to develop management skills.” —Hau L. Lee, Thoma Professor of Operations, Information and Technology and Director of the Stanford Global Supply Chain Management Forum, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University “As companies have extended their supply chains globally and as the face increasing resource issues, they face a number of new risk challenges. While there are various case studies written about supply chain risks, this book gives a comprehensive treatment of the subject with clarity. The concepts and frameworks developed by Sodhi and Tang in this book would create awareness of this important and yet not well understood subject, and strategies described in this book would stimulate practitioners to develop a holistic approach for identifying, assessing, mitigating, and responding to different types of supply chain risks.” —Nick Wildgoose, Global Supply Chain Proposition Manager, Zurich Insurance​

Book excerpt: According to the Government Accountability Office, sustainment of weapon systems accounts for approximately 70 percent of the total life-cycle costs. When sustainment is not considered early in the development process or as an integral part of the systems engineering design, it can negatively affect the ability of the Air Force to maintain and improve the weapon system once it enters service. At the request of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, Weapons Systems Sustainment Planning Early in the Development Life Cycle identifies at what point or phase of the development of a weapons system sustainment planning should be integrated into the program; examines and provides recommendations regarding how sustainment planning should be evaluated throughout the development process; investigates and describes the current challenges with sustainment planning and determines what changes have occurred throughout the acquisition process that may have eroded sustainment planning; and identifies opportunities for acquisitions offices to gain greater access to sustainment expertise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk is of fundamental importance in this era of the global economy. Supply chains must into account the uncertainty of demand. Moreover, the risk of uncertain demand can cut two ways: (1) there is the risk that unexpected demand will not be met on time, and the reverse problem (2) the risk that demand is over estimated and excessive inventory costs are incurred. There are other risks in unreliable vendors, delayed shipments, natural disasters, etc. In short, there are a host of strategic, tactical and operational risks to business supply chains. Supply Chain Risk: A Handbook of Assessment, Management, and Performance will focus on how to assess, evaluate, and control these various risks.
