Supplier Risk Map
A written assessment of concentration, continuity, quality, and documentation exposure, with priority findings.
Supplier Risk Audit
Understand the exposure.
Choose a sound response.
A defined, paid advisory engagement for a supplier base or decision that needs a structured assessment. Patrick connects operational detail with the commercial implications and recommends what to address first.
WRITTEN FINDINGS. A DIRECT DISCUSSION.
A clear brief
for the decision.
Scope, fee, timing, and information requirements are agreed before work begins. The audit includes a written assessment, priority findings, and corrective recommendations.
We discuss the findings together so your leadership team can understand the tradeoffs and decide how to act.
Commercial Exposure Review
The cost drivers, terms, minimum orders, and assumptions that deserve closer scrutiny.
Executive Recommendation
A clear view of the available options, their tradeoffs, and the recommended course of action.
Prioritized Action Plan
Corrective recommendations and practical next steps, discussed directly with Patrick.
WHAT WE EVALUATE
The supplier relationship.
The business exposure.
- Continuity & concentration
- Reliance on individual suppliers, qualification of alternatives, capacity, and transition readiness.
- Cost & commercial terms
- Product cost, payment terms, minimum orders, freight and duty assumptions, and negotiation priorities.
- Quality & operating discipline
- Specifications, samples, approvals, purchasing documentation, supplier communication, and performance visibility.
FROM FINDINGS TO ACTION
The next step
is a choice.
Your team can carry out the recommendations. I can also advise, coach, or help implement where experienced support will add value.
That may mean preparing a negotiation, coaching the person leading a supplier conversation, running a defined transition project, or providing fractional direction.
On-site assessments, testing, and additional specialist work are scoped separately when required.
