Supply Chain Risk Entry

Use this form to capture one supplier risk at a time. Submit one entry per supplier-part combination so you can build a searchable risk register over time. Recommended quick scoring: Risk Score = Likelihood × Impact. Likelihood and Impact use 1–5 scales (1 low, 5 high). Suggested thresholds: 13+ = Critical, 9–12 = High, 5–8 = Medium, 1–4 = Low. Be specific in trigger conditions and assign a clear owner for contingencies. Review high and critical items at least quarterly and rehearse contingency plans.

This template is meant to be actionable: include concrete trigger conditions, an owner, and concise contingency steps that can be executed and rehearsed. If you want a bulk import or aggregated dashboard, use the capability notes below.

Official supplier name (legal or contract name).
Part numbers, descriptions, and quantities typically sourced.
How essential is this supplier/part to production?
Is there only one qualified supplier for this part?
Average lead time from order to delivery.
Typical +/- variation on lead time.
1 = rare, 5 = almost certain
1.0 10.0
1 = minimal, 5 = catastrophic
1.0 10.0
Record Likelihood × Impact or paste your calculated score. Higher is worse.
What measures are in place (dual sourcing, safety stock, specification flexibility, redesign).
Names, capabilities, lead times, qualification status.
Suggested buffer to cover typical disruption.
Any constraints (expiry, storage, obsolescence, contractual limits).
Specific signals or thresholds that should start the contingency plan (e.g., supplier misses X deliveries, lead time exceeds Y days).
Person accountable for activating and coordinating the contingency plan.
Clear actionable steps with owners and timelines (who does what, by when).
How long until normal operations resume under the plan.
How often the plan should be exercised.
When this entry and its assumptions were last reviewed.
Include contract manager or account rep details.
