A New Approach to Manufacturing Supply Chain Risk Management

在这个项目中，我们计划设计一种全新的供应链风险管理方法，由独立的技术支持，允许非常安全的保证和风险数据共享，由供应链中的每个参与者控制。我们将在我们的第三方风险管理软件产品Rizikon Assurance中利用这种新的方法和数据共享机制，并将利用这种新思维将我们的市场份额提高两倍，并创造可观的新收入。供应商长期以来一直是所有类型制造商的巨大风险来源。随着新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19，即2019冠状病毒病）造成的业务中断，以及新的贸易规则和关税正在以前所未有的规模进行谈判，这种风险只会增加，而且可能会迅速增加。与此同时，很少有制造商成功地管理其供应链中的风险。在与100多名高级采购和供应商管理经理的对话中，我们没有遇到一个组织对他们的供应链风险可见性和管理感到满意。大多数供应商并不知道他们的许多供应商是否通过了一级认证，除非是少数强制性或稀缺性驱动的可追溯性商品，这是因为一级供应商出于保密或竞争原因，通常不愿意或无法分享其次级供应商的风险信息。这也可能是因为没有支持共享供应商风险和保证信息的标准方法或技术标准。我们将进行研究，找出阻碍组织全面管理供应链风险的原因。然后，我们将提出识别、可视化和管理供应链风险的新方法，数据传输标准和数据共享平台，以解决这一关键的系统性问题。我们将与利物浦约翰摩尔大学的合作伙伴一起沿着发布主要成果，供供应链风险行业和更广泛的英国经济受益。

In this project we plan to devise a completely new way of managing risk in Supply Chains, supported by independent technology that allows very safe assurance and risk data sharing controlled by each participant in the Supply Chain. We will exploit this new methodology and data sharing mechanisms in our Third Party Risk Management software product, Rizikon Assurance, and will use the new thinking to treble our market share and generate significant new revenues.Suppliers have long been a huge source of risk for manufacturers of all types. With the business disruption caused by Covid-19, and new trade rules and tariffs being negotiated on an unprecedented scale, this risk is only increasing, possibly rapidly.At the same time, very few manufacturers successfully manage risk in their Supply Chains. In conversations with over 100 Senior Procurement and Supplier Management Managers, we have not encountered a single organisation satisfied with their visibility and management of Supply Chain Risk. Most do not know many of their suppliers past Tier One, except possibly on a small number of goods with mandatory or scarcity-driven traceability.This is because Tier One suppliers are generally unwilling or unable to share risk information about their sub-suppliers because of confidentiality, or competitive reasons. It can also be because there are no standard methods or technical standards that support sharing of Supplier Risk and Assurance information. There may well be many other reasons, which we intend to explore.We will carry out research to find out what is stopping organisations fully manage Supply Chain Risk. We will then propose new methods of identifying, visualising and managing Supply Chain Risk, data transfer standards and data sharing platforms to address this critical, systemic problem.The main deliverables we will publish along with our partners at Liverpool John Moores University for all in the Supply Chain Risk industry and wider UK economy to benefit from.
