Mapping Supply Chain Shifts under widespread supply chain risks — Take the Global Battery Industry as An Example
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The global-level exchanges of raw materials, manufactured goods, and information are highly intertwined. Multiple factors result in supply chain disruptions. As an essential part of supply chain management, the main objective of this research is to integrate the efficient supply chain information among the upstream and downstream suppliers to generate supply chain maps based on different time points. Despite the high unavailability of the multi-tier supplier data, this study aims to improve the accuracy of the buyer-supplier network by the material/good flow to enhance supply chain transparency and visibility and to propose a method to construct a dynamic global supply chain network in a particular industry. This study will mainly concentrate on two aims. First, the construction of the global supply chain, specifically in the battery industry.Second, discover changes at the supply chain level. Changes will be carried on from geographical changes, network changes, ownership changes, structural changes, and technological/ knowledge changes. These dimensions could help better explore the underlying mechanisms in the global supply chain.
