Abstract: Eucalyptus wood is a major raw material of pulp and paper industry in which the demand is dramatically increased not only in Thailand but also all over the world over the past decades. There are risks that occurred in the supply chain process of eucalyptus wood for pulp and paper industry. A study of the Eucalyptus supply chain and risks associated along the chain could help mitigating any future risks that may potentially harm stakeholders along the supply chain. In this research study, the supply chain of eucalyptus wood for pulp and paper industry was diagnosed and identified. Four main stakeholders in this chain were identified consisted of the eucalyptus seedling developers and sellers, the suppliers, the distribution centers, and the pulp and paper production plants. Potential risks related to each process were identified and classified while using the traditional Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method. Then, the risks were prioritized using the Risk Priority Number (RPN). Finally, the study results showed that there were 51 potential risks and out of these, 7 risks were identified as high risks in this supply chain. Those included “Eucalyptus trees are cut too early”, “Farmers’ lack of understanding about how to grow eucalyptus properly”, “Stem size is too small”, “Eucalyptus wood price is highly fluctuated in the market”, “Stock quantity is too low”, “Contaminated soil”, and “Lack of knowledge about quality control.” By understanding these high risks, resources could be invested properly to help all stakeholders within this supply chain.
