Ripple Effect in the Supply Chain: Definitions, Frameworks and Future Research Perspectives
摘要
This chapter aims at delineating major features of the ripple effect and methodologies to mitigate the supply chain disruptions and recover in case of severe disruptions. It observes the reasons and mitigation strategies for the ripple effect in the supply chain and presents the ripple effect control framework that is comprised of redundancy, flexibility and resilience. Even though a variety of valuable insights have been developed in the given area in recent years, new research avenues and ripple effect taxonomies are identified for the near future.
