Risk analysis of the agri-food supply chain: A multi-method approach
International Journal of Production Research, 2020 Agri-food supply chains (AFSCs) are becoming more complex in structure, and thus more susceptible to different vulnerabilities and risks. Therefore, to enhance performance, we need to manage the risks in AFSCs effectively and efficiently.

Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, 2007 Risk analysis has recently emerged as a structured and precise methodology to help modern companies understand their risks and plan the relative countermeasures well in advance. It is based on a number of indicators: parameters that quantify the key concepts on which an enterprise designs its security and safety investments. A modificator is a function

Optimal heavy tail estimation – Part 1: Order selection [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2017 The tail probability, P, of the distribution of a variable is important for risk analysis of extremes. Many variables in complex geophysical systems show heavy tails, where P decreases with the value, x, of a variable as a power law with a ...
