Why supply chain needs this combination of methods.
Supply-chain risk combines network science and optimisation for flows, econometrics for trade responses, geospatial methods for corridors, materials chemistry for substitution and urban transport engineering for logistics.
Grounding makes claims checkable.
When a finding names the methods it depends on, a reader can see its assumptions and limits, and an expert in that method can challenge it.
