proposing a model based ontology for supply chain risk management

Over the past three decades, the supply chain of leading industries has become increasingly manifold. Along with this complexity, there has been a significant increase in related research. The existence of a formal ontology is one of the necessities of development in a area of knowledge. This terminological structure in the ideal situation should be based on a semantic model of the key concepts of this area of knowledge. Despite, the development of literature on supply chain risk management, there is no consensus among researchers on the terms, concepts and definitions of the field and researchers have used their own definitions to refer to the key concepts of the field. The purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual model based on ontology for supply chain risk management. In this study, the critical review method was used to achieve a conceptual model and model-based ontology for supply chain risk management. Based on a systematicl review of 60 related articles, four conceptual frameworks : "effect of risk factors on supply chain", "supply chain resilience", "severe or serious supply chain risk" and "supply chain risk management" were developed and based on these frameworks, analytical definitions for 47 related concepts were presented in the form of a thematic ontology. The ontology presented in this research, can provide a platform for communication and cooperation of researchers, publication of research results and indexing of literature related to supply chain risk management.
