ABSTRACT
Supply chain management paradigms are becoming increasingly common management perspectives all
over the world due to violent global competition of trade organizations and rapid changes in technology.
In recent years, thanks to the communication improvements, customers have become more conscious
about purchasing goods or services. Furthermore, organizations have to be customer oriented and more
fexible against the dynamism of supply chain environment which increases uncertainties in supply chain
parameters. Although a considerable amount of risk factors appearing in supply chain operations, this
study concentrates on detecting key supply chain risks which could cause abnormalities and occur from
rapid changes in customer demand, unpredictable price fuctuations, defect variations and delivery
delays and provides the correction of these problems automatically. Thus, a system dynamics model is
established for determining risks. This combined approach would be helpful for integrated supply chain
risk management.
