TY - JOUR T1 - A Case for Supplier Risk Management JF - Turnaround Management SP - 103 LP - 106 VL - 2003 IS - 1 AU - Nancy Colah Y1 - 2003/03/20 UR - http://guides.pm-research.com/content/2003/1/103.abstract N2 - The enormous risk that can lie with insolvent suppliers may sometimes catch companies off guard and wreak as much havoc on their operations and bottom-line results as the loss of a good customer. This risk, coupled with today's industry dynamics, makes it imperative that a company take a proactive approach in monitoring its supply base, rather than waiting for trouble to strike. This article discusses how to recognize supplier risk, industry factors that lead to it, measures to combat it, as well as descriptive case studies that illustrate the positive impact a proactive approach can make.
