摘要
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is twofold: to identify the supply chain risks in the automotive and electronic industries in Brazil, and to highlight the urgency of supply chain risk management (SCRM) implementation. Design/methodology/approach - It uses exploratory study methodology in the automotive and electronic industries, taking in consideration of the (SCRM) phase of initiation. Findings - There are significant practices to implement SCRM: better supply chain communication, SCRM and business continuity planning training program, and the creation of a chief risk officer position to manage the supply chain risks. Research limitations/implications - The limitation of this study comes from its small sample size. There are two simple reasons: many companies did not know SCRM and thus misinterpreted the information about SCRM. Practical implications - This case study promotes more preparedness for the two industries to manage the risks of supply chain. Originality/value - This study shows the risks that surround the supply chain in the automotive and electronic industries in Brazil and how these industries can implement SCRM in a successful way.
