Zusammenfassung

The growing occurrence of supply chain risks challenges the effectiveness of tactical supply chain planning (TSCP) outcomes. Consequently, an adjustment of TSCP is required, for instance, through integrating TSCP processes with the four supply chain risk management (SCRM) activities of identifying, assessing, treating, and monitoring risks. This paper investigates how TSCP can be integrated with these activities to deal with risks. The literature on the field is still incipient, and research findings are dispersed among different studies. Therefore, a scoping review is conducted, synthesizing the TSCP literature according to supply chain processes and risks, SCRM activities, and contextual factors. The paper offers eight main research streams for future studies. A research agenda is posed with a future research proposal for each research stream.
