Supply Chain Risk Assessor

Overview

The Supply Chain Risk Assessor provides comprehensive risk identification, assessment, and visualization capabilities for supply chain risk management. It supports structured risk categorization, probability-impact analysis, heat mapping, and control effectiveness evaluation.

Capabilities

• Risk Category Taxonomy: Financial, operational, geopolitical, compliance categorization
• Probability and Impact Assessment: Likelihood and consequence scoring
• Risk Score Calculation and Ranking: Prioritized risk listing
• Heat Map Visualization: Visual risk representation
• Root Cause Analysis Integration: Risk driver identification
• Risk Appetite Alignment: Threshold and tolerance management
• Control Effectiveness Evaluation: Mitigation effectiveness assessment
• Risk Register Maintenance: Centralized risk documentation
