This paper presents an empirical analysis of the current status and challenges of supply chain risk management in the Japanese automotive industry. It is based on a survey with 47 manufacturing plants. We investigate the vulnerability of supply chains, efforts toward lowering the supply chain risks, and probability and impact of the risks. The results show that there are weak relations between geopolitical risk and technology risk, information risk and disruption risk.
