Supply Chain Risk Assessments

Advances in quantitative methods

Four levels of supply chain risk management

1.

Anecdotal, un-calibrated opinion 2.

3.

 Read the papers, ask around, develop an opinion Objective data informed opinion  Independent tracking of critical supply chain metrics, develop a more informed opinion or an informal model Objective data, objective projections 4.

 Independent tracking of critical supply chain metrics that enable a projection of supply/demand balance with confidence levels Quantification of risk  Risk quantified scenario planning  Multiple scenarios analyzed Opinion Objective Supply Chain Projections Opinion Objective w/ confidence level 1 2 3 Supply Chain Scenarios Opinion Objective w/ confidence level 3.5

Critical supply chain metrics

  Multi-sourced or substitutable products     Inventory Capacity Demand profiles and elasticity Price – as the reflection of where supply = demand Proprietary sole sourced products    Process Cpk (manufacturing and supply chain processes) Available supplier capacities and inventories Other demand for the capacity and end product demand for hardware that consume products that use the capacity

CPT (Component Price Tracking)

Price is adjusting factor to equalize supply and demand

 So tracking and projecting REAL prices is the single most important factor in assessing supply chain risk
