Program overview:

Due to global sourcing and interconnected supply chains, robust risk management planning has become an imperative for successful production.

While risk management is often still considered to be a burden on the shoulder of purchasing and supply chain professionals, leading edge companies (Intel, Fujitsu, etc) show that risk management can be used as a start point for optimizing or even redesigning the supply chain.

By assessing their sourcing projects companies are able to understand the real trade-off between cost and resilience and respond to these risks appropriately.
The main risk mitigation strategies will be explained using real-life best practice cases.
