Abstract

With the recognition of the necessity for effectively preventing and minimizing enterprise logistics risks, this paper seeks to propose an early warning indicators system (EWIS) for enterprise logistics risks based on the balanced scorecard (BSC) in order to maximize the possibilities of desired performance. This paper is the first attempt to apply the BSC framework on the early warning indicators system of enterprise logistics risks. The EWIS proposed in the paper is based on an extensive review of literature on logistics performance measures and the theory of logistics scorecard (LSC) developed by Christopher. Then a referring EWIS of enterprise logistics risks based on the BSC and analysis of each indicator are provided. The EWIS developed in this paper provides a useful guidance for the practical managers in evaluation and monitoring of enterprise logistics risks in a balanced way from all angles of logistics goals.
