“…Since the focus of this research is related to the analysis of the applicability of the MORT Method for risk management in supply chains (SCRM), the literature review unfolded on two fronts, one for SCRM and the other for MORT method. However, as research on SCRM is increasing (De Oliveira et al 2018;Dias et al 2019), with abundant published material and, on the contrary, as publications on the MORT method in journals are scarce, this literature review dedicates a separate subsection on the MORT method. This approach is intended to highlight the MORT method and provide readers with a better understanding of this method.…”

Although the Management Oversight and Risk Tree (MORT) method is considered a respected analytical procedure to investigate causes and contributing factors of accidents and incidents in different types of businesses, its application in Supply Chain Risk Management was not found in the literature (SCRM). Given this gap, the general objective of this research is to analyze the applicability of the MORT Method in SCRM. Methodologically, the research was supported by an in-depth case study in a cylinder requalification company located in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). The case study included document analysis, direct observation and structured interviews based on questions previously defined by the MORT Method. As the main theoretical contribution, the research applied, in an innovative way, the MORT Method in SCRM. As the main practical contribution, sequenced, detailed and exemplified steps were developed, so that the MORT Method can be reproduced by other professionals in supply chains. As a limitation, it is observed that the case study only covers the cylinder requalification process, focusing on endogenous risks and failing to address exogenous risks in the supply chain. As a main result, it was possible to identify all the factors that contributed to the damage to cylinder valves; damage that has the potential to have severe consequences for other companies in the supply chain.Keywords Supply chain risk management • SCRM • Supply chain management • Risk analysis • Management oversight and risk tree • MORT method

“…Scheduling of quay crane assignments and yard trucks to reduce congestions is of great importance for supply chain operations, as it determines to a great extent the distribution costs, as well as customer satisfaction [6]. According to Dias et al [7], the risks a port can pose to the organizations in its chain ranges from brief supply interruption to complete rupture. Due to problems with sea shipping and cargo handling at ports, there is a great risk that raw materials and finished products will be delayed in reaching customers.…”

This paper presents significant measures to tackling berth occupancy and quay-yard operation problems. Case study was conducted on a port container terminal in Nigeria confidentially identified as ‘Port A’ in this paper. Hungarian assignment algorithm was used to reduce the total travel time of the yard trucks from an average of 6.4 minutes to 3.5minutes, while M/M/c/K queuing model was applied in scheduling the quay crane assignments. Results showed tremendous increase in quay crane rate, berth capacity and improved berth utilization. Also, for the reach stacker, the crane rate can be improved to 30 TEUs/hr at berth occupancy below 0.40 with TEUs factor of 1.4. These results imply that for Nigeria terminals operating with reach stacker crane, it is possible to improve the berth capacity without affecting the berth utilization of the terminal.

Port risk management (PRM) during port operations is a current problem that can negatively affect the environment, people, and economic issues. In the literature, there is an enormous amount of research related to supply chain risk management (SCRM) in various areas and with various objectives. However, PRM has not received the same degree of attention. In fact, port terminals are crucial links in most supply chain networks and an important pillar of international trade. Therefore, for better risk mitigation efficiency, a risk assessment and prioritization step are vital. Recently in the literature, researchers have applied prospective methods such as structural analysis methods to risk prioritization in SCRM. The aim of this research is to prioritize various man-made risk variables in PRM using a qualitative structural modeling-based approach, specifically, the MICMAC method (referring to its French acronym: Matrice d’Impacts Croisés Multiplication Appliquée à un Classement). An empirical study was conducted to assesses and prioritize risk variables of the seaport terminals of Sfax (Tunisia). The main contributions of the empirical research are twofold. First, to prioritize the key risk variables to define the most critical ones that require immediate intervention. Second, to analyze the structure of the influences between all identified risk variables. The results for the port terminals of Sfax show that the highest-priority risk variables are the manual handling (Ph3), disregard for safety aspects (Ph4), unsafe storage of goods (Inc1), absence of a prevention system and a rescue organization (Inc2), neglect of the regulatory aspects of handling equipment (M1), ignorance of good handling practices during the operation of loading and unloading (Cho2), and inadequate lifting accessories (Cho3). These risk variables must be the subject of urgent risk reduction strategies.
