Prioritise what matters
Classify inputs by business criticality, substitutability and recovery time. This focuses attention on the few vulnerabilities that could interrupt customers or essential operations.
Compare resilience options
Alternative suppliers, redesigned products, strategic inventory and regional capacity solve different problems. Assess cost and lead time alongside the duration and severity of potential disruption.
Test the network in practice
Use scenarios to clarify who decides, what information is needed and how plans would work under pressure. Lessons from reviews should update sourcing and continuity decisions.
