Turn Supplier Data Into a Full Risk Matrix and Action Plan

Analyzes a supplier across concentration, geographic, financial, quality, lead-time, regulatory, and cyber risk factors, then builds a risk matrix with prioritized mitigation actions. Use it during vendor reviews or before renewing a key supplier contract.

Conduct a supplier risk assessment for my critical vendors.

SUPPLY CHAIN CONTEXT:
- My industry: [INDUSTRY]
- Products sourced: [CATEGORIES]
- Geographic scope of suppliers: [REGIONS/COUNTRIES]
- Single-source dependencies: [LIST ANY]

For each risk category, help me assess exposure and develop mitigation strategies:

1. CONCENTRATION RISK: What percentage of spend is with my top 3 suppliers? What's at risk if any single supplier fails?
2. GEOGRAPHIC RISK: What region-specific risks affect my supply base? (Natural disasters, political instability, trade policy, logistics disruption)
3. FINANCIAL RISK: What signals indicate a supplier is in financial trouble? How do I monitor this?
4. QUALITY RISK: Where are my quality failure points? What's the impact of a quality event for each critical component?
5. LEAD TIME RISK: Which items have the longest lead times, and what happens if lead time doubles?
6. REGULATORY/COMPLIANCE RISK: What regulatory changes could disrupt supply? (Tariffs, environmental regulations, labor laws)
7. CYBER/DATA RISK: What data do I share with suppliers, and what's the exposure?

Deliverables:
- Risk matrix (likelihood vs. impact) for top risks
- Mitigation action plan with owner, timeline, and cost estimate
- Dual-sourcing candidates for single-source items
- Monitoring dashboard — what metrics to track weekly/monthly
