TL;DR: In this article, a "what if?" team exercise called "stress testing" is used to identify potentially weak links in the supply chain and then select the best mitigation strategy: holding "reserves," pooling inventory, using redundant suppliers, balancing capacity and inventory, implementing robust backup and recovery systems, adjusting pricing and incentives, bringing or keeping production in-house, and using Continuous Replenishment Programs (CRP), Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and other supply-chain initiatives.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a study of the diversity of research in supply chain risk management from the perspectives of operations and supply chain management scholars, and characterize the diversity in terms of three "gaps": a definition gap, a process gap, and a methodology gap.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a study of the diversity in the field of supply chain risk management from the perspectives of operations and supply chain management scholars, concluding that there is a definition gap in how researchers define SCRM, a process gap in terms of inadequate coverage of response to risk incidents, and a methodology gap of inadequate use of empirical methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the management of supply chains, arguing that risk management solutions that are developed as possible ways to address supply chain disruptions should be evaluated for their cost efficiency as of 2014.

TL;DR: In this article, business requirements for traceability systems are curbing illegal practices; improving sustainability performance; increasing operational efficiency; enhancing supply-chain coordination; and sensing market trends, and critical success factors for implementation are companies capabilities; collaboration; technology maturity; supply chain practices; leadership; and governance of the traceability efforts.
