This study analyzes the risks incurred by supply chains, both externally and internally. Several alternatives are presented to evaluate the risks of disruption of a supply chain and bankruptcy of one or several of its member enterprises. The issue is then to integrate risk management within classical supply chain management approaches. The difficulty of this integration is described through contradictions between Supply Chain Management and Risk Management in objectives and practice.
