Supply chain disruption assessment based on the newsvendor model
Abstract: Purpose: This paper
focuses on supply chain disruption assessment.
Design/methodology/approach: Newsvendor Model
Findings: As both cost and income principle will be taken into account in
supply chain disruption assessment, we proposed in this paper: (1) the problem
of supply chain disruption assessment is the trade-off problem. (2) the generic
single period - newsvendor model can be used for capturing the critical point,
which in tradition model stands for the demarcation point of profit but in this
paper is the least costs considering disruption costs and expected revenues.
Research limitations/implications: single period - newsvendor model
Practical implications: we give an example for test the effectiveness of
this method
Originality/value: to research supply chain risk in a new approach, that
is: supply chain risk has both cost and profit. So we can assess it with trade-off
method
