Resilience work begins with a bill-of-materials-grade risk map: every critical part, its sources, its lead time, and the financial health of the supplier behind it. The map is the client's to keep and re-run each quarter.
Fixes are contractual as often as they are physical: dual-source qualifications, volume commitments that make a second source viable, quality agreements with exit clauses, and buffer policies tied to restart time rather than habit.
The method in three moves
- 01
Map the exposure
Part-level risk map across sources, lead times, and supplier health. Re-run quarterly by the client team.
- 02
Qualify the alternates
Dual-source programs for critical parts, with volume splits that keep both suppliers producing.
- 03
Contract the rest
Quality agreements, exit clauses, and buffer policies sized by restart time, not by rule of thumb.
