Abstract

Emerging of risk is considered in various industrial supply chain in the last two decades. Many scientists in this field concentrate on proper managing of these risks. This research is aimed at identification and exploration the dimensions and factors of this phenomena by content analysis. Then classification and prioritization of these dimensions and risks are done. In order to analyze the previous literature, the meta-synthesis model which developed by Sandolowski and Barroso were utilized. We found 401 papers from 2000 to 2014 and eventually by using some criteria 75 ones were selected to further investigation. Results show that different aspects of supply chain risk management were categorized in five main dimensions,17 sub-dimensions and 124 related codes which presented those dimensions and sub-dimensions. Finally, the influence of codes in each dimension was evaluated and prioritized by using Shannon Entropy. This research conclusion indicates that the most important risks based on content analysis include: supply risk, demand risk, information risk, product risk and flexibility risk. Moreover the most important risk reduction strategies that practitioner could employ to eliminate risk factors and their outcomes are multiple supplier, cooperation between partners, flexibility in supply and product.
