FAQ on risk management

There are a variety of risks that can jeopardize global and complex supply chains. These include production bottlenecks, major weather events and fluctuating demand, as well as commodity quality issues, technical problems and transportation disruptions. Challenges can vary by industry, business environment or geographic location. In order to take appropriate measures to manage potential disruptions, an individual risk analysis is essential.

A risk analysis is used to identify the potential disruptive factors in a supply chain. By reviewing historical data, including suppliers and partners and industry trends, and checking external circumstances, risks are assessed and classified. Preventive measures and contingency plans are then created. Regular audits and continuous reviews of processes also ensure that inconsistencies can be identified at an early stage.

Strategic risk management is based on technologies and digital platform solutions. The use of Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain, Big Data, AI or predictive analytics plays a key role in creating forecasting models and enabling real-time monitoring, automated monitoring of supply chain activities, improved transparency and the identification of risk patterns. Early warning systems are also developed based on the data collected.
