In encountering more frequent and unpredictable risks than before, many companies adopt risk management systems and redesign their supply chain (SC) structures for stronger SC resilience as well as quicker recovery speed. In this paper, we present a case study of a large semiconductor packaging and testing company in Taiwan, AKH, in confronting risk incidents and the plans they implemented to strengthen the SC resilience to assure more reliable supply of their products and services to the customers worldwide. AKH executed several de-risking plans, which can be divided into four Rs - resourcefulness, redundancy, robustness and rapidity. Many of the de-risking plans rely on the E-Hub system the company implemented a few years ago for SC information visibility. After carrying out the de-risking plans, AKH found that the suppliers and customers as well as the company have to furnish additional kinds of information to the E-Hub system in order to improve the SC resilience and assess the impacts of risk incidents. The results show improved SC resilience for the case company in encountering risk incidents and much faster recovery speed once an incident occu}, language = {en} }
