In June 2013, Frank Quinn stepped down as the only editorial director Supply Chain Management Review had ever known. “In thinking about those whom I’m indebted to for the success of SCMR over 16 years, there is one constituency that must rank first on the list—you, the reader,” Frank wrote, as he handed over the reins to Bob Trebilcock.

In this article, recognizing the heightened importance of risk management, we illustrate practical, easy-to-implement SCRM frameworks and analyses to support supply chain decision-making and management. We begin with a short review of the types of risk that firms must assess in creating their risk management strategy. This review provides context for the frameworks that we will introduce. After this brief review, we then turn to the focus of the article and present several illustrative SCRM frameworks and analysis templates.

Hence the need for a two-step approach. Figure 1 presents nine broad categories of generic risks (column 1), and offers examples of each category of risk (column 2).
