Successful Model of Implementing Risk Management in Supply Chain Distribution Channels

The agricultural sector, especially in the
highland vegetables, is considered to have potential
and prospects in supporting food diversification so it
must have a comparative advantage. Comparative
advantage is obtained with supply chain
management and risk management, therefore an
optimization model is needed. However, often in
agricultural activities risks are often encountered,
especially in supply chain distribution channels.
Risk management is very important to minimize
risks that are part of supply chain management. The
objectives of this study are (1) to analyze supply
chain flow in the highland vegetables of Karo
districtand Dairi district, North Sumatra, (2) to
know the optimization and risk management model
of the vegetable supply chain distribution channel in
Karo District, North Sumatra, and (3) analyzing the
minimalism of microcos in vegetable distribution
channel of the Karo Regencyand Dairi regency,
North Sumatra. The results of this study will
provide an optimization model and risk
management in the highland supply chain
distribution channel channel to have comparative
value.
