Risk Impact on Supply Chain Network/Architecture

Research shows that a company's supply chain is the source of well over half of all business crises and disruptions. Suppliers are the largest source of these supply chain failures. Yet, many companies do not fully understand, track, or analyze the imbedded risks that are inherent within their selection of suppliers. This survey seeks to better understand and assess how leading companies are approaching this growing problem.
