1 Managing risk in he supply chain David Simchi-Levi Engineering Sysems Division Massachuses Insiue of Technology Gérard P. Cachon The Wharon School Universiy of Pennsylvania Supply Chain Roundable July 2004 Agenda Sources of and ools for supply chain managemen risk Recen research on supply chain risk managemen Risk neural decision makers Risk averse decision makers More discussion 1

2 Sources of supply chain managemen risk Demand risk Supply risk Price risk Sraegic risk Environmenal risk Unknown risks Qualiy risk Tools for managing risk in he supply chain Locaion pooling Lead ime pooling Produc pooling Delayed differeniaion Capaciy pooling / flexible manufacuring Dynamic pricing / capaciy conrols Assemble-o-order Ousourcing / offsourcing CPFR, VMI Conracs (buy-backs, quaniy flexibiliy, ec.) Markes/exchanges/aucions Financial engineering: Deviaion measures, real opions, porfolio opimizaion, ec. 2

3 Lieraure Managing risk in a risk neural world Qualiy risk: Baiman, Neessine and Kunreuher (2004), Baiman and Neessine (2004) Delivery lead ime risk: Cachon and Zhang (2004a,b) Supplier qualiy/performance: Debo (2004) Forecas qualiy: Lariviere (2004) Forecas sharing: Anand and Goyal (2004) Spo price volailiy: Wu, Kleindorfer and Zhang (2002); Wu and Kleindorfer (2004) Allocaion of invenory risk Supplier Supplier Push Sell o he newsvendor Reailer Reailer Pull Buy from a newsvendor Everyone in he supply chain can be beer off by swiching from one exreme risk allocaion o he oher (i.e., from push o pull or from pull o push) Smar allocaion of risk can reduce he need for complex conracs. 3

4 Is supply chain risk reducion always Pareo improving? Iyer and Bergen (1997): Quick response does no always benefi he supplier. Anupindi and Bassok (1999): Locaion pooling a he reail level does no always benefi he supplier. Lee and Whang (2002): A secondary marke does no always benefi he supplier. Dong and Rudi (2004): Invenory ransshipmen among reailers does no always benefi he supplier. Is supply chain risk reducion beneficial in a compeiive seing? Roller and Tombak (1993): Manufacuring flexibiliy can be harmful. Carr, Duenyas, Lovejoy (1999): Less demand or supply risk can be harmful. Anand and Girora (2004): Delayed differeniaion can be harmful. Bu Cachon and Harker (2002): Capaciy pooling wih a conrac manufacurer benefis compeing firms because price compeiion is reduced. 4
