Global Supply Chain Complexity and Risk Management Assessments

Assessment Task 1: Risk Analysis

Task: You will be given few reports from supply chain risk management. You need to analyse those reports from a strategic perspective. You should identify the potential risks and their impact - both quantitative and qualitative. You should also analyse the potential causes of the risk and how the risk affects the whole supply chain network. You should suggest the strategies with their strengths and weaknesses. You should also perform a comparative analysis from the reports for the last few years. Reports: supply chain resilience reports 2012- 2016.

Assessment Task 2: Group Project

Task: Report on identification of different types of sudden risks and disruptions in an Australian supply chain system. Discuss the potential impact and strategies to deal with them. You also need to discuss benefits by applying disruption management strategies. You should consider all supply, operations and distribution systems to develop the report.

Assessment Task 3: Research Project

Task: Research on quantitative models in supply chain risk, uncertainty and disruption management. The research should focus on different categories of risks, uncertainty and disruptions, critical review, quantitative models to handle supply chain risks, uncertainty and disruptions and their contributions and limitations, research gaps in the literature and future research direction for a better resilient supply chain. The research should also demonstrate a reflective approach to building organisational agility through adoption of professional risk and complexity management practices in supply chains with particular emphasis on ethical and social responsibility issues in risk management.

Please see the requirements in Assessment 3: Research Individual.

Assessment task 3: Research Project (Individual)

This assignment consists of a research paper (maximum 5000 words, Excluding abstract, appendices and references). The task involves research on quantitative models in supply chain risk, uncertainty and disruption management. The research should focus on different categories of risks, uncertainty and disruptions, critical review, quantitative models to handle supply chain risks, uncertainties and disruptions and their contributions and limitations, research gaps in the literature and future research direction for better resilient supply chain.

You need to review the literature as a researcher to explore and critically analyse the quantitative models in supply chain risk, uncertainty and disruption management. You should also consider ethical and social responsibility aspect in risk management. We are looking for a creative review paper for this assessment.

You should review the relevant literature from different databases such as scopus, google scholar, and publisher sites (science direct, emerald, springer and so on). You should select at least 60-70 papers (most of them should be from 2008- present) for this research paper. After the analysis of the published papers in the field, you also need to suggest a future research direction.

The research paper should consist following sections:

a) Introduction

b) Literature review on quantitative models

c) Ethical and social responsibility for risk management

d) Analysis

e) Future research direction

f) Discussion and Conclusion

Structure and format of paper -

1) Title page (Provided through UTSOnline)
