Abstract

Cocaine trafficking is starting to get modeled by supply chain theory. Supply chain theories are described in many economical papers. These theories are however not directly usable in analyzing illegal supply chains. In this paper we investigate the difference between legal and illegal supply chains. Where the difference of the supply chain lies in two factors, these are trust and risk. Here we model a cocaine trafficking supply chain based on legal supply chain theory. This model will be copied and adjusted with theoretical concepts that are inherent to an illegal supply chain. Comparison of the results of the two models showed that differences in those factors lead to differences in the supply chain, such as clustering and efficiency.
