Abstract

Risk Management is a subject of growing interest both in academic research and in business communities. Nowadays the industrial environment is highly dynamic and sometimes unstable. Because of the structural complexity and volatility in logistics networks, there is an increasing need for a decision support system that is integrated with risk assessment and management procedures. In this study, we aim to investigate the fundamental steps of risk analysis and for a well-suited control mechanism and systematic decision-making process of management, then present a conceptual framework of a design methodology logistics networks under the influence of disruptive factors.
