Managing Commodity Price Risk: A Supply Chain Perspective

Let’s face it—all businesses are exposed to financial risk stemming from
commodity price volatility. Risk exposure may be direct from the prices
paid for raw materials transformed into products sold to customers or
indirect from higher energy and transportation costs. Help has arrived.
This book provides a flexible approach that organizations can implement
and adapt for managing commodity price volatility, literally reducing their
exposure to financial risk associated with purchased goods and services.
Whether risk exposure for your company is coming directly from raw
materials, from various metals, or from natural gas and electricity, this
book will help assess those risks and give supply chain managers a way
to assess their organization’s exposure to price risk. The book will help
these managers to develop and implement effective price risk management
strategies.
