Supply Chain Risk Assessment

CONTEXT:
Supply chain disruptions cost companies an average of 6-10% of annual revenue, with 73% of organizations reporting at least one major disruption in the past two years. Geopolitical instability, climate events, and single-source dependencies have amplified risk exposure across global networks. Companies with mature risk frameworks recover 40% faster from disruptions than those without structured assessment protocols.
