Abstract: In today's volatile business environment, supply chain disruptions pose significant challenges to firms, impacting their logistic performance and overall competitiveness. This study aims to investigate the relationship between supply chain risks and firm logistic performance, with a focus on identifying key risk factors and mitigation strategies. Drawing upon an extensive literature review, a comprehensive framework of supply chain risks, including market risks, supplier risks, and inventory risks, is developed. Through empirical analysis using structural equation modelling (SEM) techniques, data collected from 82 automotive firms are examined to assess the impact of these risk factors on logistic performance indicators. The findings reveal significant associations between various risk factors and logistic performance outcomes, highlighting the critical role of proactive risk management in mitigating disruptions and improving operational efficiency. Practical implications for supply chain managers are discussed, emphasising the importance of implementing robust risk mitigation strategies and fostering resilience in supply chain operations. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics between supply chain risks and firm performance and provides valuable insights for firms seeking to enhance their competitiveness in today's uncertain business landscape.
