Most firms are still failing to think strategically and systematically about managing supply disruption risk and most of the supply chain management efforts are focused on reducing supply chain operation costs rather than managing disruption. Some innovative firms have taken steps to implement supply chain risk management (SCRM). Inventory management is part of SCRM because supply disruptions negatively affect the reliability of deliveries from suppliers and the costs associated with the ordering process.

Abstract:
Outsourcing has become a well known and commonly used strategy for Swedish companies, which involves buying a part or process from a subcontractor rather than performing it within the company. Common reasons why companies chose to outsource rather than to perform the activities themselves are cost- and competition related. Previous low labour- and facility costs in countries such as China and Estonia have been forces that have kept the outsourcing trend strong. In recent years you can see more Swedish companies bringing back previously subcontracted functions into the company, so called insour

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Konkurrensen för svenska tillverkningsföretag finns på både global och lokal nivå idag, något som gör det viktigare för företag att hålla hög effektivitet. Det försvåras av den ökade dynamiken på marknader och oväntade konjunktursvängningar som leder till en ökad osäkerhet för företag. Företag utformar sourcingstrategier för att uppnå ett högre värdeskapande och utformandet av strategierna antyds i litteraturen ha en koppling till konjunkturen, och det faktum att inköpschefsindex används som en konjunkturindikator styrker att det finns en relation mellan dem.

Abstract:
Thesis (MBA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.<br>The value-add of a functional department in the corporate environment is continuously being challenged. Functions regularly find themselves in a state of restructuring in order to reduce cost structures which speaks volumes about an organisation’s view of its functions. What is however extremely important to take into account, is that functions can in fact add a great deal of value to the business, but before a function can be recognised as a value-adding partner, it needs to transform itself from a traditional transaction-driven service to

Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence technology has become increasingly important from a business perspective. In strategic sourcing, the technology has not been explored much. However, 67% of CPO:s in a survey showed that AI is one of their top priorities the next 10 years. AI can be used to identify patterns, predict prices and provide support in decision making. A qualitative case study has been performed in a strategic sourcing function at a large size global industrial company where the purpose has been to investigate how applicable AI is in the strategic sourcing process at The Case Company.

Abstract:
Background – Increase in global competition, technological changes and demanding customers have resulted in more knowledge-intensive, unstable, complicated and an uncertain environment. In order to overcome these demand uncertainties and tough circumstances, manufacturers are required to investigate methods to increase flexibility. To achieve the flexibility improvements, each component of supply chain such as suppliers, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and distributors must possess the potential to be flexible. Theory implies that the main link between company’s upstream supply chain namely

Abstract:
In this paper we investigate a manufacturer's sustainable sourcing strategy that includes recycled materials. To produce a short life-cycle electronic good, strategic raw materials can be bought from virgin material suppliers in advance of the season and via emergency shipments, as well as from a recycler. Hence, we take into account virgin and recycled materials from different sources simultaneously. Recycling makes it possible to integrate raw materials out of steadily increasing waste streams back into production processes. Considering stochastic prices for recycled materials, stocha
