Effectiveness of Risk Mitigation Strategies in Global Supply Chains

Author(s) Mr. Prabhat Singh, Dr. Rahul Kushwah

Abstract In the modern highly interconnected and dynamic global economy, supply chain risk management has become a key challenge for companies. Cross-border operations of global supply chains expose them to a variety of risks, from geopolitical incidents and natural catastrophes to pandemics, cyber-attacks, and changing regulatory landscapes. The aim of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of different risk mitigation measures adopted within global supply chains and examine their influence on supply chain resilience, continuity, and performance.
This study uses a mixed-methods methodology integrating qualitative information obtained from industry professionals and quantitative evidence from multinational companies across various sectors like automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. It investigates major strategies like diversifying suppliers, nearshoring, monitoring digital risks, buffer inventory control, contractual flexibility, and investing in supply chain visibility solutions such as blockchain and AI-based analytics.
The results show that firms with proactive and diversified risk management approaches show much greater resilience and quicker recovery when disrupted. For example, companies which implemented predictive analytics coupled with real-time monitoring were capable of redirecting logistics and modifying levels of stock more efficiently than those using more conventional systems. In addition, supplier cooperation and openness proved to be pivotal factors in trust and agility construction in times of crisis.
Nevertheless, the research also points out that excessive reliance on any one mitigation measure (e.g., an over buffer stock or overly centralized sourcing) can turn out to be counterintuitive and lead to inefficiencies. Thus, a flexible and hybrid solution designed to suit the exact risk profile and industry environment emerges as most effective.
This work adds to the developing body of knowledge around global supply chain risk management with empirical data and strategic insights that can be used to guide policy-making and business strategy. It emphasizes the value of resilience-building as a reaction to risk as well as a source of competitive edge in volatile global markets.
Keywords Global value chains, risk management, supply chain resilience, risk management practices, supply chain disruptions, supplier diversification, predictive analytics, digital supply chain, inventory management, supply chain visibility, global logistics, pandemic risk, geopolitical risk, agility, AI in supply chain.
