Tavoitteet

Supply chain risks have increased due to many factors. Globalisation has lengthened supply chains, outsourcing has become more common, the number of suppliers has decreased due to closer cooperation, and requirements for on-time deliveries and small intermediate storage facilities have tightened.

Disruptions caused by natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts or unforeseen events can also have a serious impact on supply chains, causing significant financial and reputational damage to businesses. Good supply chain management means being able to respond quickly to operational disruptions and having a flexible contingency plan in place. But to be truly resilient, a supply chain must be able to forecast and anticipate disruptions, and, in many cases, avoid them altogether.

Students are able to
- identify and predict potential vulnerabilities in supply chains
- describe the factors influencing supply chain flexibility
- evaluate means and strategies to manage supply chain risks

Sisältö

- interdependencies between different parts of the supply chain
- identification, assessment and management of risks in the supply chain
- geopolitical risks, climate change, pandemics and cybersecurity risks
- procurement and transport aspect
- national security of supply.
