Supply chain risks arise from dependencies that can interrupt quality, availability or delivery. Their importance depends on the consequence and the practical alternatives available to the business.
Map critical products, suppliers, routes and information systems. Identify shared upstream dependencies that can affect several sources at once. Review the evidence that existing controls or backup arrangements would work during a disruption.
Assign responsibility for monitoring material risks and responding to warning signals. Test contingency plans and keep approval records current. Reassess the risk when a product, supplier or operating condition changes.
