Agenda Types of Risks – Internal and External Risk Mitigation –Why is this important? Prevention – How companies can reduce risks?

Types of Risk Internal ~Strategy – Having the wrong strategy ~ Demand – Buying to much or too little ~ Market – miss expectations ~ Implementation – new supplier downtime ~ Performance – post implementation expectation

Types of Risks External –Natural Disasters Earthquakes -Japan (1995) Hurricane Katrina (2005) – Human/Technology Nike ( 2001) Cisco Systems (2001) – Terrorism Closing of shipping docks

Global Supply Chain Risks The impact of global supply chain disruptions is increased when any of the following increases: Location of Supplier Number of Brokers Long Lead Times Concentration of Suppliers Workforce Issues Demand for Product

Product/Process Risks The impact of supply chain disruptions is increased when any of the following increases: Product Complexity Proprietary Technology Value of Product Quality Requirements Uniqueness of Parts

How do we Reduce these Risks? With Risk Mitigation – Continuous monitoring and analyzing risk associated with the system – Evaluate alternate safeguards associated with each threat/asset pair – Suggesting the most effective safeguard, which would mitigate the threat consequences and occurrences.

Risk Mitigation Company wide managers must think – Strategically – Broaden Cooperation – Consider the tradeoffs – Don’t ignore a risk just because you can’t quantify it

Supply Chain Disruptions Set up Supply Chain Risk Management Systems : 1. Discover a disruption 2. Effectively recovery 3. Supply chain design for resilience
