It has become imperative for channel entities to incorporate risk management tools in the management of their supply chains.

Briefly, this talk will provide key insights and future research directions while addressing emerging modeling and optimizing approaches which integrates various supply chain functions; capture all process-related information including activities, resources, and organisational units as well as their interdependencies to support complex dynamic and distributed supply chain smart operations, thus providing strong implications for academia and supply chain practitioners.
