Supplier Risk Classification Necessary to Implement Lean Manufacturing.

In this article, you will learn what is Supplier Risk Classification and its benefits according to lean manufacturing and six sigma techniques.

Supplier Risk Classification Definition

A document or procedure to handle and determine the most critical requirements necessary to facilitate the information required to buyers to select and buy from trusted and reliable supplier’s products with QA approval of components at affordable prices.

These benefits include, but are not limited to components, packaging materials, supplies, etc. based on their specific manufacturing needs and demand at affordable prices.

How to Calculate the Supplier Risk:

The supplier risk is defined and calculated as:

𝑅𝑖𝑠𝑘 = probability of failure event × business impact or severity of the event.

The Business Impact Shall be Estimated Based on the Following (10) Ten Attributes and Characteristics:

1. 1. High-volume suppliers.
   2. Suppliers of critical components; and
   3. Non-substitutable suppliers
   4. Cost – Reduce product costs, ensure timely, reliable delivery and quality
   5. Responsiveness – Respond to changes in demand (volume, mix, and location) quickly and at a reasonable cost.
   6. Security – Ensure that the product flow through the supply chain is protected from disruption due to external threats. Ensure product integrity and consistency.
   7. Sustainability – operate supply chain to ensure minimal and controlled resource impact now and in the future. Implement and maintain a “Cradle-to-Cradle” perspective. The “Cradle-to-Cradle” perspective seeks to design products such that they can be endlessly recycled so that waste is reduced to zero, natural resources are not depleted and the environment is not polluted. This is in contrast with the “Cradle-to-Grave” approach.
   8. Resilience – Develop a supply chain risk management system to react quickly and cost-effectively to supply chain risks and disruptions.
   9. Innovation – develop and provide new products meeting customer needs. Provide new ways of producing, delivering, and distributing products.
   10. Recognition and reputation
