Supply Chain Risk Evaluator
Comprehensive assessment system that analyzes supplier data, geopolitical factors, and market conditions to identify and prioritize supply chain vulnerabilities.
Solution
This advanced risk assessment tool helps procurement teams make informed decisions by evaluating multiple supply chain risk factors. The system analyzes supplier location risk levels, historical performance metrics, and availability of alternative sourcing options to establish a baseline risk profile. It then applies real-time adjustments based on current geopolitical tensions and market volatility to calculate a more accurate risk score.
For critical components, the system provides specific mitigation recommendations tailored to each risk level, from standard monitoring procedures for low-risk scenarios to immediate action plans for critical situations. The evaluation includes lead time impact assessment and priority classification, enabling teams to focus resources on the most vulnerable parts of their supply chain. This systematic approach helps organizations reduce disruption risks, maintain business continuity, and make strategic sourcing decisions.
How it works
The decision graph evaluates supply chain risks through four sequential stages:
Input Collection: Gathers comprehensive supplier data including location, performance scores, alternative source availability, and product details along with market conditions and geopolitical factors.
Baseline Risk Calculation: A decision table evaluates supplier location risk level, historical performance metrics, and alternative sourcing options to determine an initial risk score, category, and recommended mitigation actions.
Risk Factor Adjustment: The system applies multipliers based on current geopolitical tensions (1.3x if present) and market volatility levels (1.0-1.2x depending on severity) to adjust the baseline risk score.
Final Assessment: The adjusted risk score determines the final risk category (low, medium, high, or critical), expected lead time impact, and organizational priority level for action.
