Abstract
Risks are inevitable in perishable products supply chains. Frequent occurrences of risks lead to too many disruptions and thus affect the sustainability of perishable products supply chains. This paper explores the risk propagation mechanisms and puts forward the feasible countermeasures for perishable products supply chains to improve the sustainability, which are tested by use of the case study of the yogurt supply chain in Company L. First, using the Tropos Goal-Risk framework, a perishable products supply chain is modeled, and the risk propagation chain is extracted. Then, the three-dimension model of supply chain risk propagation is proposed to represent the risk propagation mechanisms on the basis of the risk propagation chain, according to which, the complexities of the risk propagation in a perishable products supply chain is analyzed. Finally, the risk management strategies are proposed based on the three-dimension model and by dealing with the complexities. This paper innovatively explores how to improve the sustainable operations of perishable products supply chains from the perspective of risk propagation based on Tropos Goal-Risk framework, which creatively replenishes the risk propagation theory and risk management strategies of perishable products supply chains, as well as provides the technical and methodological supports for the study on the risk propagation mechanisms and countermeasures to improve the sustainability of perishable products supply chains.
