Intended learning outcomes: Disclose the process for identifying supply chain risks. Present the depiction of the supply chain using the SCOR model. Describe the supply chain portfolio, suitable for risk management. Explain the supply chain risk catalog.
Figure 2.4.1.1 shows the process of identification of supply chain risks.
Fig. 2.4.1.1 Process for identifying supply chain risks.
Experience has shown that only a few supply chains can be investigated. The point of delimiting the investigation is so that efforts are not made in the wrong spot. Delimitation is done, for instance, with the aid of a supply chain portfolio.
A supply chain portfolio is a description of all of a company’s supply chains using criteria such as finished product, customers, and suppliers.
Figure 2.4.1.2 shows a supply chain portfolio that is suitable for SCRM. The two axes are supply chain vulnerability and strategic significance.
Fig. 2.4.1.2 Supply chain portfolio, suitable for risk management.
In view of risk management, supply chain SC1 in Figure 2.4.1.2 will not require attention. Supply chain SC3 will require a lot of attention, as it is assessed to be both very significant and very vulnerable.
The selected supply chains are then depicted using the SCOR model (for a definition, see Section 1.1.8). This creates transparency, as Figure 2.4.1.3 shows in principle.
Fig. 2.4.1.3 Depiction of the supply chain using the SCOR model.
The purpose of the step identification of critical risks and previous measures is to draw up a catalog of supply chain risks.
A supply chain risk catalog is a drawing up of risks relevant to selected supply chains, for example, structured as in Figure 2.4.1.4.
Fig. 2.4.1.4 Supply chain risk catalog.
For putting together the risk catalog, it is advisable to use risk checklists, structured according to SCOR processes and the target areas of the company goals. With systematic use of the lists, risks are less likely to be overlooked.
