Topic - Global Supplier Risk Mitigation
These days, global businesses find themselves
faced with challenges and opportunities that few would have foreseen a decade
ago. Increasingly, customer and supply bases are more globally distributed and
dispersed, stretching supply chains further and faster. The drive for cost
savings has separated suppliers geographically from their buyers and resulted in
increased outsourcing and offshoring activities. Regulatory requirements have
increased external oversight. Historically, supplier risk management has
represented the processes that a company employs to limit unforeseen supply
disruptions, and to guarantee the supplies needed in sufficient quantity and
quality to produce and meet the demand for its end products or services. The
current business environment has expanded this definition to include activities
that protect the business from supplier events that can impact the company
legally, financially, and from a brand perspective.
Put simply: Modern supply chains now run substantial risks of performance
failures or shortfalls.
