From
Risk to Resilience: Learning to Deal With Disruption
摘錄:
Supply chain practices designed to keep costs low in a
stable business environment can increase risk levels during disruptions. Just-in-time and lean production methods, whereby managers work closely with a small
number of suppliers to keep inventories low, can make companies more vulnerable due to the lack of
buffer capacity.
Traditional methods for coping with supply chain risks are
based on the notion of stability as the “normal” state of affairs: Events such as explosions or floods are seen as
unwanted deviations from the norm.
A more integrated approach to risk management, called
“enterprise risk management (ERM),” became popular in the mid-1990s and has
been widely adopted by large corporations. It gives company executives a
detailed and comprehensive view of the risks associated with different business
activities, enabling managers to make more informed decisions about how to
manage risk portfolios. Another risk management process, known as business
continuity management (BCM), incorporates elements from disaster recovery
planning and crisis management, including how to respond to disruptions and
maintain backup capacity for operational systems.
為什麼ERM與BCM不給力、無效無用
1.風險太多、情境太複雜,無法預知與預測其發展
While processes such as ERM and BCM can help companies avoid
supply chain disruptions and recover normal operations quickly, they also have
serious limitations. To begin with, they rely too heavily on risk
identification. In a complex and turbulent global supply network, many of the risks that a company faces are
unpredictable or unknowable before the fact. These “emergent” risks are often triggered by improbable
events whose causes are not understood, and their potential cascading effects are difficult to
understand a priori. Clearly, it
would be impractical for companies
to identify and investigate all the potential risks that may be hidden in their
global supply chains.
2.缺乏相關統計資訊
Second, ERM and BCM depend on statistical information that
may not exist. Risk assessments are limited by the quality and credibility of
the assumptions upon which they are based, and faulty assumptions or data can
lead to misallocation of resources. Of particular challenge are low-probability, high-consequence events
for which there is little empirical knowledge; managers may underestimate the
probabilities of these events or the magnitudes of their consequences because
they have never experienced them.
3.把各項風險看成獨立(沒有交互作用與骨牌蝴蝶效應)
Third, the traditional ERM process of risk identification,
assessment, mitigation and monitoring is based on a simplified, “reductionist”
view of the world. Each risk is
identified and addressed independently, and hidden interactions are seldom
recognized. This procedural approach
can lull organizations into a false sense of complacency that could be
shattered by an unexpected event (for instance, an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico ). The complex, dynamic nature of global
supply chains requires constant vigilance to discern systemic vulnerabilities,
as well as exceptional agility and flexibility when disruptions occur.
4. Management by Change, not Management of
Change!
危機有如天擇,能夠存活下來的,塑造另一套產業環境與規則
Finally, traditional
risk management is predicated on the goal of returning to a stable operating
condition; risks represent potential
deviations from this “normal” state. However,
a more realistic view is to recognize that every disruption represents a
learning opportunity that may suggest shifting to a different state of
operations. For example, a company
that anticipates increased flooding in Southeast Asia
might migrate its supply base elsewhere. Identifying latent opportunities in
the risk landscape will enable a company to exploit those opportunities faster
than its competitors.
We define resilience as “the capacity of an enterprise to survive, adapt
and grow in the face of turbulent change.”
Resilience
goes beyond mitigating risk; it enables a business to gain competitive
advantage by learning how to deal with disruptions more effectively than its
competitors and possibly shifting to a new equilibrium.
