However, data-driven predictive technologies such as machine learning (ML) are rarely examined in supply chain risk management (SCRM). The purpose of the following paper is to present a framework of design principles for the application of ML in SCRM. The foundation of this framework is an action design research (ADR) project, which is performed in collaboration with the SCRM department of an automotive company. A predictive ML model is developed and evaluated in collaboration with the company. Based on the findings and observa-tions made during the project, general design principles are derived and grouped by the three interrelated elements of organisation, development and operation, which are to be considered when applying ML in SCRM. Finally, the derived elements and the corresponding design principles are discussed and justified with reference to the literature.}, language = {en} }
