How brittle is your supplier strategy?
The Supplier Risk Assessment measures how exposed your company is if one of its main suppliers fails. It is for procurement and finance leaders, category managers and buyers, and it covers direct procurement, what goes into your product, and indirect procurement, what the company buys to operate.
Most supplier risk checklists ask about processes. This one asks whether your suppliers share the same risks, whether your second source could really take over, and how your suppliers see you.

By taking this assessment, you'll receive a personalized report by email. We retain your data for 24 months and never share it. See our privacy policy for details.
At the end you will know:
- Your score in Factors, Independence, Resilience and Mirror, the four dimensions we measure
- Where your supplier strategy is most exposed
- The first thing to work on
What each dimension measures:
- Factors - The risks your main suppliers have in common, such as geography, regulation, logistics and their own suppliers.
- Independence - Whether your second source could take the full volume if the first one failed, and whether the two share suppliers, routes or regulations.
- Resilience - Whether you can put a cost and a recovery time on losing a top supplier, and whether you track the warning signs before it happens.
- Mirror - How your suppliers see you, measured by your share of their revenue, the cost of replacing them and your place in their priority list when supply is short.
