Abstract

The procurement of raw materials has become increasingly complex and risky, driven by the expansion of emerging markets, technological advancements, and evolving geopolitical dynamics. The study introduces a holistic methodological framework designed to support decision-makers in assessing and comparing the multi-dimensional risks that influence the procurement of raw materials. The framework provides a structured, simulation-based approach that integrates economic, environmental, societal, political, and technical factors, enabling stakeholders to identify the most resilient sourcing strategies while optimizing procurement options. Methodologically, the research work leveraged on the Holistic Risk Analysis and Modelling (HoRAM) method, whose construct is in line with ISO 31000 for risk management. It offers a flexible approach capable of integrating both qualitative and quantitative factors, enabling a detailed and systemic understanding of supply chain risks, meant as uncertainties on objectives.
