Abstract

Forging companies are nearly exclusively embedded into supply chains as suppliers and consequently have to accomplish strict requirements concerning their logistic performance. For providing products flexible and responsive to the market proactive supply chain management systems need to be introduced for a quick and reliable delivery to costumers in-time with low risks of failures. Therefore, this paper describes a comprehensive approach for the implementation of operative logistic risk management in the PPC within flexible supply chains. The method developed applies proven statistical fundamentals (e.g. trend analysis) to logistic risk management with the purpose of identifying potential logistic risks, estimating their impact and ranking them according to their importance. Hence, counter measures can be deduced and tested based on material flow simulation to counter balance the identified potential logistic risks.
