Introduction:

Supply Chain Risk Management refers to the frameworks and processes used to identify, assess, and mitigate risks across supply chain networks. It emphasizes the importance of resilience in addressing disruptions, uncertainties, and vulnerabilities in global operations. This program explores models, methods, and structures for analyzing risk drivers in procurement, logistics, and distribution. It further examines strategies that strengthen supply chain continuity, security, and long-term competitiveness.
