Supply Chain Performance: Collaboration, Alignment and Coordination, Valérie Botta-Genoulaz,Jean-Pierre Campagne,Daniel Llerena, Editör, Wiley-ISTE, London, ss.1-369, 2010
In modern supply chain (SC) networks, firms seek to increase their competitive edge by employing new strategies, such as re-centering some of their activities by outsourcing, proposing an increased diversity of products to capture a market share, and so on. This chapter presents a literature review on risk management, focusing in particular on risk management in SCs. It presents a global model of a SC with several suppliers, a manufacturer, a retailer and customers. The chapter presents coordination among SC partners as a risk mitigation action in SCs. It zooms in on a sub-network of the SC: the coordination between suppliers and the manufacturer. The chapter describes a supplier selection mechanism to enhance the purchasing policy of the manufacturer. The whole system under study and the supplier selection mechanism are then modeled using petri nets (PNs) and object oriented design (OOD) techniques.
