Risk Management and Insurance
When we choose to operate in foreign markets, we have
various insurance exposures that we now entertain. This
chapter takes a hard look at identifying the various exposures,
categorizing them, and offering risk management
strategies to eliminate or mitigate.
We would not build a facility today without a sprinkler
and alarm system as a method of managing the risks of fire
and burglary, so why would we build a supply chain in sourcing
from overseas suppliers and not build-in risk management
and loss control features?
This chapter outlines how we reduce the risks and maximize
our opportunity for a loss free global supply chain.
