Abstract

Risk is a basic term for any decision making framework which can be defined as a probability or threat of damage, injury, liability, loss, or any other negative occurrence that is caused by external or internal vulnerabilities. For having a wide range of risks, Ready Made Garments (RMG) sector faces different difficulties in accomplishing their missions and goals. This paper has identified different risks associated with internal supply chain of the RMG sector. To achieve the expected outcome from this study, a renowned apparel factory named TALISMAN (BD), a branch of FCI GROUP, has been visited. 58 risks in 11 different departments have been identified by discussing about the process with the experts and experienced personnel of those departments along with the previous historical data of that factory. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been used to identify the most severe risk of each department. Some corrective actions have also been suggested to eliminate the most severe risks of all department to enhance the overall efficiency of the supply chain.
