La gestion des risques dans une chaîne d’approvisionnement[La gestion des risques dans une chaine d'approvisionnement : Le cas de la filière d'approvisionnement en fruits et légumes d'une entreprise d'Import-Export]

In the last decades, many changes have occurred in the supply chain. In this way has the supply chain risk management (SCRM) becomes an important part of the supply chain management (SCM) strategies. However, there is not enough works in the French literature that deals with this theme (Lavastre et Spalanzani, (2010) et Fabbe-Costes et Lancini (2009). We intent through our research to reach three goals: identify the risks we can find in a supply chain, identify the factors that cause their occurrence, and analyze the supply chain risks management strategies. This works was realized through an immersion in a fruit and vegetable import-export company. A quantitative analysis allows us to identify the main risks of the supply chain. It was completed by a qualitative analysis which aim was to understand the factors that cause the occurrence of these risks and to analyze the main strategies in the risks management. Our work shows that the main risks concern the products quality and quantity, the invoicing and the delivery delays. It shows also that the occurrence of these risks results from a lack of information sharing through the supply chain. It also underlines how the information flow between the actors of the chain is important to optimize the risks management in the SCs.
