This book presents a risk management framework that will help readers position and conceptualize the topic of supply chain risk management. With this framework, practitioners will be able to reduce costs associated with risk, protect their brand and reputation, ensure positive financial outcomes, and begin to develop visible, predictable, resilient, and sustainable supply chains. The book provides access to a cloud-based, end-to-end supply chain risk assessment "Heat Map" which illustrates the maturity of the chain through the various stages.
