With over 30 years of experience, we specialize in supply chain and logistics consulting, delivering successful risk management solutions with a high rate of repeat business.

Assessing supply chain risk has always been a key element of our strategy, but recent global disruptions—such as Covid, the Ukraine war, and extreme weather—have underscored the need for proactive risk management. Businesses must now focus on supply chain resilience and develop internal capabilities to manage future shocks effectively.

The goal isn’t just risk mitigation—it’s about gaining a competitive advantage by responding swiftly and efficiently. The first step is identifying and assessing existing risks within the supply chain.

Supply chain risks have long been a concern, particularly for automotive and lean logistics businesses, which are more vulnerable to disruptions. However, many companies only take risk management seriously after a major disruption occurs.

Common categories of supply chain risks include:

1️⃣ Network Risks – Supplier failures, IT system breakdowns, strikes, warehouse fires, infrastructure overloads, or natural disasters.

2️⃣ Organizational Risks – Internal inefficiencies such as poor decision-making, lack of early warning systems, or key personnel absence.

3️⃣ Business Environment Risks – External macro-level issues like recessions, trade disputes, or loss of market share due to competition.

When all three risks converge—as seen during Covid—the consequences can be severe. Even businesses that operate solely in domestic markets can face unexpected disruptions due to supplier dependencies.

A well-structured risk assessment and contingency plan may not eliminate every threat but can minimize damage and accelerate recovery, ensuring business continuity even in the most challenging situations.
