E2open Supply Chain Risk Management Assessment

Evaluate how you detect, assess, and respond to risks in your supply chain

Supply chain disruptions are occurring with more regularity than ever before, and without technology-driven supply chain risk management strategies, your business may be ill-equipped to respond quickly enough.

Now is the time to ensure you’re prepared for what’s ahead. Our assessment guide will help you see whether your approach to risk management is outdated and inefficient or simplified and up to date.

A simple Q&A to assess your risk management strategy

Are you relying on phone calls and emails to detect disruption, evaluate the impact, and respond to risks? Or has your company evolved to use more proactive, technology-driven risk management strategies? Modern solutions can help you do more than identify risk events – they can also define the impact severity level and help your team know where to focus and collaborate in real-time to maintain supply chain resiliency.

Use this risk assessment guide to compare older risk management methods to a more modern approach and see how your organization stacks up. In the guide, we break down supply chain disruptions into three phases:

Disruption strikes

What is the type, location, and scope of the supply chain disruption?

The immediate aftermath

What are the immediate impacts and how might they affect supply chain security?

The crisis response

What steps need to be taken to maintain supply assurance and salvage business continuity?

Here are a few sample questions to give you an idea of what’s in our assessment guide:

The question	The old approach	The modern approach
How do I hear about supply chain disruptions?	A frantic phone call or email from a supplier	AI scans multiple sources to detect disruptions for you
Can my supplier still deliver what they promised?	Wait for supplier responses, hoping for speed and honesty	A collaborative assessment workflow yields impact details straight from the source
Is my ability to meet my customer commitments impacted?	Manually matching supplier issues to customer orders, which is slow and tedious	End-to-end visibility instantly links disruptions to demand and suggests solutions to stay on track
