My Mission Critical Objective Today: • Global sourcing • Changing sourcing rules • Supply risk management • Future of supply management
Today’s Business Model Aerospace and auto companies business model: • Design Product • Outsource (up to 85% of manufacturing $) • Assemble • Test • Manage their brand
Today’s Business Model Impacts Supply Risk • Sara Lee Corporation plans to sell its non-core factories. It will focus on its core strengths, specifically developing new products, managing its brands, and increasing market share. • Sara Lee will outsource commodity manufacturing and other non-core activities and only retain its ‘highly proprietary’ processes. In other words, it plans to focus on ‘what it does best.’

2. Changing Sourcing Rules From Just in Time to Just in Case
Discussion • Just in Time • Lean supply chain • No buffer inventories • Just in Case • What if • Risk analysis • Buffer inventories
Discussion • Single sourcing makes a lot of sense and offers value • However, single source can result in supply risks • Earthquake in China • All eggs in one basket • No diversification of risk
Discussion • Single sourcing makes a lot of sense and offers value • However, single source can result in supply risks • Earthquake in China • All eggs in one basket • No diversification of risk
Discussion • Price or cost has been traditional method of selecting suppliers • Now, risk is becoming critical component of selecting suppliers
Discussion • Quality has compliance flavor • Historical focus • Past performance • Risk management • Future focus • ‘What if’ analyses
Discussion • Supplier trust is based on: • Long term, mutually beneficial relationship • Good products supplied • Supplier verification • More audits • Trust but verify
Discussion • Quality Audits • ISO 9000 • Compliance based (still) • Risk Audits • ‘What if’ audits • White space gaps and risks in supply chain
This Is How You Start! • Determine management’s appetite for risk. • Identify supply chain risk events. • Analyze risk events and assign risk vectors for likelihood and severity. • Quantify: determine risk products and prioritize. • Begin working with highest risk products (RP). • Determine appropriate controls. • Implement and monitor risk controls. • Manage risks by monitoring and repeating the process. This is Supply Chain Risk Management!
Two Risk Definitions Risk – The possibility that an event will occur and adversely affect the achieve-ment of objectives. COSO, Enterprise Risk Management Framework, web, 2003. Risk – A situation or circumstance, which creates uncertainties about achieving program objectives. FAA Programmatic Risk Management, 2002, p. 6.
Risk Identification Process • Flowchart the overall supply chain and sub processes. • Identify critical supply chain system, process, and production activities. • Determine likelihood of unwanted variation (risk events). • Identify which sources of variation represent higher severity. • Determine risk product profile.
Supply Chain Risk Events • Early/late shipments or delivery to wrong location • Non-conforming/wrong product or quantity • Supplier processes • Sole source supplier • Undesirable events (storm, flood, earthquake, etc.) • Contract, legal and regulatory non-conformance. • Information system failure and compromises • Supplier country political stability
High Low Low High Risk Continuum Likelihood Severity
Sample Risk Profile for Late or Non-Delivery Specialized Electronic Chips in Household Appliances Off Shore Supplier Specialized Electronic Chips in Regulated Products Off Shore Supplier High Likelihood Maintenance, Repair and Operational (MRO) Supplies Domestic supplier Fasteners in Regulated Products Domestic Supplier Low Likelihood Low Severity High Severity
Develop Strategy: Avoid Risk! “Would you please elaborate on ‘then something bad happened’?”
4. Future of Supply ManagementTakeaways! • Outsourcing increases risk. • Leaning of supply chains increases risk. • Data chain management increasingly more important (not only chain of custody, but data transferred from system to system). • Higher levels of independent verification and validation required. • Third party risk assessment of vendors is critical.
Takeaways • Managing risk is increasingly important and necessary to compete and survive. • Terrorism, natural disasters, computer system compromises, are all on the rise. • DHS is developing risk management system • Risk based system for import safety • SCM professionals are key to an enterprise’s risk management. • Be proactive; predict, prevent, and preempt risks.
Know Your Risks Before Fishing (Offshoring and Outsourcing)!
The Bottom Line “I think we now live in an era when many of the concerns in running organizations are being reframed in terms of risk, which suggests that risk professionals are likely to rise to the top.” Source: ‘Managing Risk in the New World,’ Harvard Business Review (HBR), October, 2009, p. 75.
