Risks and supply chains performance

V diplomskem delu smo opisali tako dobavno verigo kot tudi predstavili upravljanje le-te. Najprej smo opredelili dobavno verige ter navedli vrste tokov, ki sestavljajo vsako dobavno verigo. Hkrati smo opisali tudi, kaj pomeni razumevanje dobavnih verig, navedli njihove subjekte in funkcije. Površinsko smo se dotaknili tudi logistike in predstavili povezavo med njo samo ter dobavnimi verigami. Na koncu smo raziskali tudi tveganja v dobavnih verigah ter prišli do sklepa, da je tveganj danes ogromno in da je njihovo obvladovanje ključnega pomena. Zanimalo nas je, kje lahko najdemo akutna žariščna mesta logistično-dobavnih verig in na katerih področjih lahko vodje poskrbijo, da do neželenih zamud, šumov in kriz v dobavni mreži ne bo prihajalo. Hkrati smo poskušali poiskati tudi najbolj optimalne rešitve za odpravo tovrstnih težav, saj mora biti cilj vsakega vodje, odpraviti tveganja v dobavnih verigah, še preden pride do težav oziroma kriz. Skozi raziskovalna vprašanja, ki smo jih poslali v uspešna slovenska podjetja, smo ugotovili, da je najpomembnejši sestavni del dobavnih verig vsekakor kader, in da danes podjetja brez pravilno delujoče dobavne verige ne morejo poslovati. Hkrati pa smo prišli do zaključka, da bodo vsi tisti, ki že danes vlagajo v dobavne verige več, kot je le nujno potrebno, vedno korak pred konkurenco in s tem tudi njihov obstoj na trgu ne bo vprašljiv.In this diploma thesis we described the supply chain itself, as well as presented its management. We first defined supply chains, and listed the types of flows that make up each supply chain. At the same time, we also described what it means to understand supply chains, catalogued their subjects and functions. We also superficially touched on logistics and presented the connection between it and supply chains. Finally, we also researched the risks in supply chains, and came to the conclusion that there are many risks known today and that managing them is crucial. We were interested in where we can find acute crucial points of logistics and supply chains and in which areas managers can make sure that there are no unwanted delays, noises, and crises in the supply network. At the same time, we tried to find the most optimal solutions to eliminate such problems, as the goal of every manager must be to eliminate risks in supply chains before problems / crises occur. Through research questions that we sent to successful Slovenian companies, we found that the most important component of supply chains is definitely the staff that makes them up and that today companies cannot operate without a properly functioning supply chain. At the same time, we have come to the conclusion that all those who are already investing in supply chains more than is absolutely necessary will always be one step ahead of the competition and thus their existence on the market will not be questionable
