# Supply Chain Risk Assessor

## Overview

The Supply Chain Risk Assessor provides comprehensive risk identification, assessment, and visualization capabilities for supply chain risk management. It supports structured risk categorization, probability-impact analysis, heat mapping, and control effectiveness evaluation.

## Capabilities

- **Risk Category Taxonomy**: Financial, operational, geopolitical, compliance categorization
- **Probability and Impact Assessment**: Likelihood and consequence scoring
- **Risk Score Calculation and Ranking**: Prioritized risk listing
- **Heat Map Visualization**: Visual risk representation
- **Root Cause Analysis Integration**: Risk driver identification
- **Risk Appetite Alignment**: Threshold and tolerance management
- **Control Effectiveness Evaluation**: Mitigation effectiveness assessment
- **Risk Register Maintenance**: Centralized risk documentation

```

## Usage

### Comprehensive Risk Assessment

```
Input: Supply chain scope, identified risks, historical incidents
Process: Score risks, calculate rankings, generate heat map
Output: Complete risk assessment with prioritized register
```

### Category-Specific Analysis

```
Input: Supplier category risks, control inventory
Process: Deep-dive risk analysis for supplier domain
Output: Supplier risk profile with mitigation priorities
```

### Control Effectiveness Review

```
Input: Current controls, incident data, audit findings
Process: Evaluate control performance, identify gaps
Output: Control effectiveness report with recommendations
```

## Integration Points

- **Risk Management Systems**: GRC platforms
- **Incident Management**: Historical event data
- **Supplier Systems**: Supplier risk inputs
- **Tools/Libraries**: Risk frameworks, FMEA templates, visualization

## Process Dependencies

- Supply Chain Risk Assessment
- Supplier Risk Monitoring and Early Warning
- Business Continuity and Contingency Planning

## Best Practices

1. Conduct comprehensive risk identification workshops
2. Use consistent probability-impact scales
3. Validate assessments with subject matter experts
4. Review and update risk register quarterly
5. Link risks to business objectives
6. Communicate risk status to leadership regularly
