Abstract:
In the past, production has been simple, but as time, with the opening of the global market, companies
have begun to implement various initiatives, including the adoption of globalization strategies,
diversification of production and outsourcing in order to acquire market share and a competitive
advantage. These initiatives are efficient in a stable and certain environment, but they could make
supply chains more vulnerable to various types of disruptions caused by a dynamic and/or uncertain
environment. The latter lead to create risks that could have a negative affect the performance of supply
chain performance by threatening its capacity to efficiently service the end customer market. Now,
companies must therefore be in a position to face the risks that arise in their supply chains and place
risk management at the forefront of their efforts to remain in a precarious environment. Given that it is
not possible to know with absolute precision what will occur in the future, Supply chain risk
management is important to keep the supply chain system uninterrupted. As a result, companies
therefore need to identify risk factors, determine their probability, their severity and even their
consequences. Thus, manage to propose action plans that meet the expectations of companies and
customers, the objectives of our research work. This makes it possible to avoid risks or, if not possible,
at a minimum to mitigate, contain and control them. To underline our contribution, case studies have
been carried out within national with the aim of discovering the risks supply chain and proposing
prevention strategies to help Algerian companies improve their performance as a supply chain, or even
ensure its sustainability.
