ABSTRACT

The supply chain comprises the core enterprises which range from purchasing raw materials to manufacturing intermediate products and the finished products, and the network consists of suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. Supply chain disruptive events are abrupt, destructive, urgent, spreading, chained/diffusive, complicated, and unpredictable. The loss assessment of supply chain disruptive events does not have general definite expressions; it has features of continuity, aftereffects, and information incompleteness. Supply chain disruptive events are abrupt, destructive, urgent, spreading, chained/diffusive, sophisticated, and difficult to predict. The loss caused by a supply chain disruptive event cannot generally have definite expressions. Such losses often have the features of continuity, aftereffects, and information incompleteness. Supply chain disruptive events are minor in terms of probability, but are enormous in influence. In terms of the effects caused by supply chain disruptive events to enterprises, it is difficult to predict the loss induced in the long term due to the uncertainty of disruptive events.
