APICS sought to examine the role that supply chain risk management plays in organizations and how risk management will evolve. The goal overall of the supply chain risk survey was to determine the current real-world practice of supply chain risk at the level of APICS members and customers. More than 9,000 professionals were invited to participate in the survey, which took place from June through July 2011.
