Kleindorfer ＆ Saad (2005) have divided supply chain risk into two categories, disruption risk and demand risk. And for children's wear; any type of risk will be severe impact in supply chain, so the success of retaining competitive advantage will ultimately depend on adaptability in managing supply chain risk. The main propose of this study is to find out the sources of supply chain risk in domestic children's wear, risk management procedures and coping strategy, and further analysis of the effectiveness of coping strategies and make recommendations by case studying through data collection and analysis, as well as Manuj ＆ Mentzer(2008) five-step risk management model. Results indicate that the rank of evaluated supply chain risk impacts in domestic children's wear is demand risk, supply risk, operational risk and safety risks in order of severity. The study also shows that the implementation of coping strategy in operational risk and safe risk has effective result in reduction and prevention. However, demand risk and supply risk are more difficult to overcome due to the external changes. So it is suggested that industry should establish a base model for demand forecasting and take a flexible approach to risk management models. For example, using postponement strategy, with adjustment to a flexible supply chain that rely mainly on “push” supplemented by “pull” , or increasing the proportion of outsourcing and reducing the complexity of production operation.
