identification, assessment and control of risks. One of the key challenges in this respect is the assessment of the probability and damaging impact of potential risks in the supply chain (see Figure 3.5).
Alongside the development of suitable tools, successful handling of risks in logistics networks also depends on cooperation between the companies in a logistics network. The precondition is the kind of mutual trust that ensures a uniform understanding of risks and adequate transparency of processes within the network. This in turn can improve security.
