Otomotiv Sektöründeki Tedarik Zinciri Riskleriyle İlgili Bir Araştırma.

Supply chain risks may emerge at different points of a supply chain network. To prevent risks or reduce their harmful effects, contemporary organizations need to identify risks, which increase the costs of the supply chain members and the risk factors, which create these risks. This study aims to identify the risks that threaten the automotive supply chain and analyze the effects of the risks on each other. The qualitative research method was used. The population consists of supply chain managers of automotive manufacturing industry companies operating in Turkey and included in the ISO 500 list. For the data collection, the intentional sampling method was used, and semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 supply chain managers from 15 different companies. A descriptive approach was used to analyze the data. There are some key findings of this study. First, supply-related risks cause increased logistics costs and longer delivery times. Second, the most crucial transportation risk factor is the delay in the transportation processes. Third, production risk factors can be controlled more efficiently compared to other risks. This study makes an essential contribution to the literature as it is the first to analyze supply chain risk data collected from Turkey's automotive sector managers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
