Abstract: In recent years, along with globalisation trend, risk management has been an integral part in supply chain management. In this vein, supply chain risk assessment has become an active and important research subject. There is considerable research and debate on the approach and method of assessing risk in order to obtain a sound base for decision making in supply chain and supply chain risk management. This paper aims to synthesise overall aspects of supply chain risk assessment in the literature. To this end, we have investigated 140 peer-reviewed articles in high quality journals by using a content analysis method and a systematic approach. The heterogeneous definitions, focuses, procedures, methods, and indicators of supply chain risk assessment referred to in previous research are comprehensively analysed and presented in classification frameworks in order to gain insights into this field, explore research gaps, and provide an outlook for future research.
