Risk Assessment
& Analysis

Risk assessment and analysis is an important step in supplier qualification, as it helps identify potential risks that suppliers may pose to a company's supply chain.

At Verifymatic, we follow a comprehensive process for risk assessment and analysis of suppliers, which involves the following steps:

Here are the key steps involved in Risk Assessment & Analysis

Verifymatic's risk assessment and analysis process is designed to provide clients with a comprehensive and accurate picture of the risks associated with their suppliers.

By identifying and evaluating potential risk items, assigning risk scores, and developing risk mitigation and monitoring plans, Verifymatic helps clients reduce the risks associated with their supply chain partners and ensure the long-term stability and success of their business operations.

1. Conduct an analysis of the supplier's business operations, financial statements, and performance records to identify potential risk items.

2. Identify risk items such as financial stability, quality of goods or services provided, compliance with regulations and industry standards, reputation, and environmental or social responsibility.

1. Establish predefined criteria for evaluating each risk item.

2. Evaluate each risk item based on the predefined criteria.

3. Examples of evaluation criteria for financial stability may include credit rating, liquidity, and debt-to-equity ratio.

4. Examples of evaluation criteria for the quality of goods or services may include conformity to specifications, product testing, and customer feedback.

1. Assign a risk score to each supplier based on the evaluation of the individual risk items.

2. Calculate the risk score using a weighted average of the individual risk items or a more complex algorithm that takes into account multiple factors.

3. A higher score indicates a higher level of risk.

4. The risk score provides an objective way to assess the overall risk associated with a particular supplier.

1. Analyze the supplier's risk profile to identify potential risk mitigation strategies.

2. Develop risk mitigation plans that are tailored to the specific needs of each supplier and take into account their unique risk profile.

3. Examples of risk mitigation strategies may include negotiating better terms and conditions, requiring additional quality assurance measures, or establishing contingency plans in case of supplier failure.

1. Establish monitoring programs that are tailored to the specific needs of each supplier and take into account the ongoing risks associated with their operations.

2. Examples of monitoring activities may include regular audits, site visits, or ongoing quality assurance measures to ensure that the supplier remains a reliable and responsible partner in the supply chain.

3. Continuously monitor the ongoing performance of suppliers to ensure that they continue to meet the required standards and maintain a low level of risk.
