Method. Purpose of assignment The purpose of this assignment is to look at a specific industry sector and analyse the supply chain risks. It is$,$ therefore, necessary to understand both the industry and the many forms of risk associated with the supply chain. These include short$-$term risks and global risks to the supply network. BRIEF: Using your own organisation, or any suitable practical case as a context answer the following question:

You have recently been employed as a Supply Chain Risk Manager. In line with your accountability for managing risk, you have sufficient delegated authority to ensure that risks are effectively managed to ensure an efficient and agile supply chain. You are expected to create a controlled environment by developing a supply chain risk mitigation strategy. In developing this strategy, you should:

a$)$ conduct a thorough risk assessment;

b$)$ develop a risk management strategy; and

c$)$ develop a business continuity strategy.

Your final product should provide a clear guide on how to ensure effective risk management and promote good governance.

Please note $$ The risk management plans you compile, therefore, must deal with the immediate risk as well as with the longer term and systemic risks. It is important to use the forms of analysis and tools that are relevant to this field of study. $$ Your answers to the above will be assessed in terms of the level of communication displayed, the insights and inferences drawn, and your ability to show the implications of the factors that you have assessed and discussed. $$ An answer that merely gives a list of events that have happened or a synopsis of a situation, without showing insight into the reasons and results, will not earn good marks
