FAQs

Supply chain risk assessments should be conducted at least annually, with more frequent reviews (e.g., quarterly) for critical suppliers or in industries with rapidly changing market conditions or geopolitical risks.

Key areas include supplier financial stability, geopolitical risks, transportation and logistics vulnerabilities, inventory management, quality control processes, regulatory compliance, and business continuity planning.

The process should involve procurement managers, supply chain analysts, logistics coordinators, quality assurance personnel, finance representatives, and senior management to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.

Manufacturers can use the results to diversify their supplier base, implement risk mitigation strategies, improve inventory management practices, enhance supplier performance monitoring, and develop more robust contingency plans.

Failing to conduct regular supply chain risk assessments can lead to unexpected supply disruptions, production delays, increased costs, quality issues, loss of market share, and damage to brand reputation due to inability to meet customer demands.
