Lean manufacturing and just-in-time processing are great business strategies that can severely stress a supply chain. The supply chain and supply chain management is a critical operations management element for any major company to succeed and remain competitive in the global market. The supply chain is one of many pieces critical to maximizing value to the end customer and requires close management to minimize external impacts. If a company is relying on another company to supply the raw materials needed for their production line, then impacts to this other company could impact their supply chain. Careful risk management is needed to optimize performance. As a company expands into global markets and global suppliers, this risk and management challenge is multiplied. The global nature of the company could impact important activities such as transportation, funds transfers, suppliers, distributors, accounting and information sharing. Disruption to the supply chain can significantly reduce revenue, cut market share, inflate costs and threaten production. A major disruption would have obvious impacts to profit, but could have additional intangible impacts to the credibility of the company if products are not delivered on time.
Christopher (2011) argues that the term called reverse logistics is used to depict the step of taking products back, generally at the end-of-life, but also for repair and recall. Reverse logistics can be defined as a chain of process to recover or sell the value of a product. That is if a company think supply chain stream in reverse, the one can make a decision the best way to deal with the bounced product. Especially, reverse logistics has received keen attention in the supply chain literature, since it mirrors the capacity of a company within supply chain to affirmatively effect the relationship that customers (Horvath et al., 2005). In addition, reverse logistics triggers main cost result for both the enterprise and its supply chain (Daugherty et al., 2005). As mentioned above, reverse logistics has been an essential structural component to make strategy in whole supply chain (Daugherty et al., 2001). Among a variety of industrial fields, automotive industry is the sector that has one of the complicated supply chains as car enterprises have vertical business relation with their suppliers to control thousands of parts for making a car. It means that the car parts companies should have their own supply chain to maintain relationship with their collaborating companies, and logistics also have to be operated to meet service demands of customers in supply chain.

The history of the Carnival Corporation begins in 1972, when Ted Arison set up Carnival Cruise Lines as a subsidiary of the American International Travel Service. The first ship ran aground, but Arison remained steadfast in achieving his vision of a cruise line offering affordable vacation packages to middle-income consumers.

Risks in supply chain: Risk management controls activities to decrease vulnerability. To explain, supply chains are vulnerable to risks arising from coordinating problems in supply and demand (Kleindorfer and Saad, 2005). Handfield and McCormack (2007) defined operational, network, and external factors as categories of supply chain risks. Operational risk is determined as the risk of loss originating from insufficient or failed internal processes, people, or systems. To illustrate, quality, delivery, and service problems are instances of operational risks. Network risk is determined as risk originated from the structure of the supplier network, such as ownership, individual supplier strategies, and supply network contracts. External risk is determined as an event driven by external forces such as earthquakes, weather, regulatory, political, and market forces. Uncertainty is another risk that enhances costs due to overreactions throughout the supply chain (Childerhouse et al., 2003). Risk management culture positively moderates the effects of (a) supply chain visibility (b) supply chain flexibility, (c) supplier development, and (d) inventory control on supply chain effectiveness (Kurniawan et al.,
