An empirical analysis of risk management strategies for in-house logistics processes in digitalized distribution systems
The results of the expert interviews are supplemented with the results of subject testing in a laboratory at the Institute of Materials Handling and Logistics (IFT) of the University of Stuttgart as well as with analysis of real data provided by industrial partners active in distribution logistics. This supplementation is intended to provide examples of the observed risks and the risk management activities described within the scope of the expert interview analyses. By deriving a risk checklist and strategy portfolio, specific assistance for risk process improvement for digitalized distribution systems is provided. The topic’s relevance is emphasized by the fact that, even today, many logistics organizations lack genuine risk management processes that exceed beyond simple risk transferring to insurance providers.
