Cooperation to Reduce Risk in a Telecom Supply Chain Issue number 15 Vol.8 n°2 - 2007 Managing Supply Chain Risks Purchase this article : 5 € Abstract: The telecom market is highly unpredictable and evolves at a very fast rate, making it extremely difficult to forecast demand accurately. These characteristics of the telecom supply chain lead to a high level of risk. One of the possible solutions for better decision making and improvement of local and global performance is the establishment of cooperative relationships within the chain. Our article presents a system and implementation methodology that aims to evaluate the risks of the actors? behaviors (resource planning strategies, production and supply control strategies, and information sharing strategies) on the performance of the individual supply chain actors and of the supply chain as a whole. This risk is evaluated according to the level of the risk attraction of the decision maker and a risk evaluation diagram is provided to the decision maker.
