Mapeamento e análise de riscos na cadeia de suprimentos de uma organização do setor de mineração.

Abstract

Supply chain management brings together and controls end-to-end activities of a business, from raw material acquisition through value-added processes to the delivery of products or services to the end customer. The inherent complexity of managing internal organizational relationships exposes the supply chain to various risks, which can be proactively managed through a supply chain mapping strategy. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the mapping of the supply chain within the mining industry, considering diverse risk management strategies associated with logistical flows. To achieve this, the current structure of the focal company's supply chain was modeled, followed by the application of mapping strategies considering member locations, delivery lead times, relationship longevity, quantity of supplied products, and the identification of suppliers and customers based on their significance. The implementation of these strategies, individually and collectively, revealed key risks related to the focal company's supply chain. The findings encompassed geographic distance from suppliers, delivery delays, fragile relationships, dependency on a single supplier, unavailability of essential products, and high revenue concentration from a sole customer. These risks primarily result in product shortages, production flow interruptions, and disruption of commercial relationships. To mitigate these risks, recommendations included supplier diversification, inventory management, and meeting customer demands. Identifying these risks aims to provide clearer insights to managers regarding the challenges faced by the supply chain, facilitating strategic decisions. Moreover, this study is expected to serve as a foundation for future research and further exploration of this subject matter.
