The purpose of the research was to determine the effects of Supply chain risk management on organization performance. Previous studies have focused on risk management within the general context of an organization but little attention has been focused on how supply chain risk affect organization performance in terms of its bottom line profits and overall organization objectives. Particular attention was paid to the effects of supply chain risk management variables to the performance of the organization. Three main supply chain risk management variables were identified, namely, supply chain risk identification, supply chain risk sources and supply chain risk mitigation.
The population for the research included staff at Andy forwarders and logistics services. The research methodology included both primary and secondary data, both interviews and questionnaires were used, questionnaires being the main instrument of data collection. The advantage of a questionnaire over other instruments include the fact that questionnaires are: Practical and large amounts of information can be collected from a large number of people in a short period of time and in a relatively cost effective way, they can be carried out by the researcher or by any number of people with limited affect to its validity and reliability and the results of the questionnaires can be quickly and easily quantified by either a researcher or through the use of a software package The researcher used questionnaire Tables, bar graphs and pie charts were used during the analysis using the statistical of science package software in order to come up with accurate analysis and presented in tabular and graphical methods.
The results obtained showed that there was a direct link between supply chain risk management and organization performance. It was concluded that supply chain risks affect organization performance in the event they materialize and therefore there was need for organization to identify risk exposure, analyze the risk exposure and have in place mitigation plans for the risk identified within their supply chain
