Background: The supply chain risk management (SCRM) process is aimed at the implementation of strategies that assist in managing both daily and exceptional risks facing the supply chain through continuous risk assessment to reduce vulnerability and ensure continuity. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine whether the SCRM process enables supply chain resilience among grocery manufacturers in South Africa. The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG)-manufacturing industry faces increased risk because of the nature of their products being perishable with a limited shelf life. Method: This study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative research design. Data were collected by means of 12 semi-structured interviews with senior supply chain practitioners within the South African grocery manufacturing industry. Findings: The study found that most firms informally implement SCRM processes of risk identification, assessment, mitigation and monitoring to mitigate disruptions. Furthermore, the findings indicate that the SCRM processes facilitate resilience among grocery manufacturers in South Africa. Conclusion: The managerial implications show that supply chain managers of grocery manufacturers should formalise the SCRM process and develop risk assessment scales to better prioritise risks in order to run a resilient supply chain. The research contributes to the supply chain management field by adding to the scarce literature relating to SCRM as an enabler of supply chain resilience in a South African context.

供应链风险管理流程以增强抵御能力:对南非杂货制造商的研究

背景:供应链风险管理(SCRM)流程旨在实施策略,通过持续的风险评估来减少脆弱性并确保连续性,从而协助管理供应链面临的日常风险和特殊风险。目的:该研究的目的是确定SCRM流程是否能够增强南非杂货制造商之间的供应链弹性。快速消费品(FMCG)制造行业面临着更大的风险,因为其产品的性质易腐烂,货架寿命有限。方法:本研究使用描述性定性研究设计进行。数据是通过与南非杂货制造业中的高级供应链从业人员进行的12次半结构化访谈收集的。发现:该研究发现,大多数公司非正式地实施了SCRM流程,以进行风险识别,评估,缓解和监控,以减轻干扰。此外,研究结果表明,SCRM流程可促进南非杂货制造商之间的弹性。结论:管理含义表明,杂货制造商的供应链经理应规范SCRM流程并制定风险评估量表,以更好地确定风险的优先级,从而运行有弹性的供应链。这项研究通过添加与SCRM有关的稀有文献来推动供应链管理领域的发展,而SCRM是在南非背景下促进供应链弹性的一种手段。研究结果表明,SCRM流程可促进南非杂货制造商的应变能力。结论:管理含义表明,杂货制造商的供应链经理应规范SCRM流程并制定风险评估量表,以更好地确定风险的优先级,从而运行有弹性的供应链。这项研究通过添加与SCRM有关的稀有文献来推动供应链管理领域的发展,而SCRM是在南非背景下促进供应链弹性的一种手段。研究结果表明,SCRM流程可促进南非杂货制造商的应变能力。结论:管理含义表明,杂货制造商的供应链经理应规范SCRM流程并制定风险评估量表,以更好地确定风险的优先级,从而运行有弹性的供应链。这项研究通过添加与SCRM有关的稀有文献来推动供应链管理领域的发展,而SCRM是在南非背景下促进供应链弹性的一种手段。管理上的暗示表明,杂货制造商的供应链经理应规范SCRM流程并制定风险评估量表,以更好地确定风险的优先级,从而运行有弹性的供应链。这项研究通过添加与SCRM有关的稀有文献来推动供应链管理领域的发展,而SCRM是在南非背景下促进供应链弹性的一种手段。管理上的暗示表明,杂货制造商的供应链经理应规范SCRM流程并制定风险评估量表,以更好地确定风险的优先级,从而运行有弹性的供应链。这项研究通过添加与SCRM有关的稀有文献来推动供应链管理领域的发展,而SCRM是在南非背景下促进供应链弹性的一种手段。
