چارچوب معیارهای چندگانه برای ارزیابی ریسک پایداری یک نمونه کارفرما

In this study, we developed a decision making model that aligns sustainability goals with the corporate goals from the perspective of the purchasing function. Our Supply Sustainability Risk Assessment Framework (SSRAF) quantifies the potential risks to the sustainability of the supply chain for different supplier segments. The supplier segments are represented through a 2 × 4 matrix (8 quadrants) with the cost of products on the x-axis (Low/High), supply risk on the y-axis (Low/High) and sustainability impact on the z-axis (Low/High). We assess sustainability risk for four supplier segments representing a High impact on sustainability and allow the evaluation of economic, environmental and social risks internal and external to the supplier permitting the integration of multiple stakeholders. The framework simplifies the cognitive effort of decision makers when selecting a portfolio of suppliers. It provides an assessment of the level of hazardousness, vulnerability and implementation of risk management practices relevant to each supplier segment and enables long-term partnerships by the consideration of risk monitoring and mitigation when necessary. The SSRAF was applied to real data collected from a global manufacturer of consumer products with operations in Mexico.
