Supply Chain Risk & Resilience |
Supply chain resilience is often ignored in typical business continuity planning. We typically focus on key processes, applications, and work sites and forget managing the risk of an interrupted supply chain.
How does an organization protect its value and supply chain? How can an organization ensure that its supply chain will be available under all conditions?
To ensure the highest level of resilience in your supply chain, those people responsible for supply chain management, business continuity management, and risk management need to work together to develop a plan for supply chain resilience.
The focus of this ICORrespondence is supply chain risk and resilience. We have included several presentations, articles, and whitepapers on the subject.
If you have a presentation, article, or whitepaper you would like to submit in an ICORrespondence newsletter, please contact Lynnda@theicor.org or call 866.765.8321 or +1-630-705-0910. |

New ICOR Course Offering: Managing Risk and Resilience in the Supply Chain |
|
|
Are your people as prepared as your operations? Prepare your people to manage a supply chain crisis.
 ICOR is launching an exciting new course this summer, Managing Risk and Resilience in the Supply Chain written and instructed by author, lecturer, and workshop leader David Kaye.
David is the lead examiner on business continuity for the Institute of Risk Management. He assisted in the development of the new British Standard BS25999 on business continuty and brings experience from Europe, the Caribbean, and the Far East.
Supply chain resilience requires much more than a traditional business recovery plan. The special demands for resilience need to be built into the very strategy of the outsourcing process. Contnuity planners now need to understand the many new reasons for supply failure, whether it sudden or gradual, local or international, in quality or quantity.
This highly practical and interactive class brings together the concepts of risk, continuity, relationship and supply chain management within the context of modern day business strategy.
Certification and Accreditation
The course concludes with a multiple choice exam. Successful passing of this exam earns the participant a Certificate in Supply Chain Risk Management accredited by ICOR. David Kaye's textbook, Managing Risk and Resilience in the Supply Chain published by BSI is also included in the course materials.

David J. Kaye discusses the supply chain and the special exposures within outsourcing, critical dependencies, and auditing third parties. The modern business model, with its just-in-time supply chain, tight compression of margins, direct communication via the web simultaneously to millions of customers at home and abroad, is much more brittle and has never been more susceptible to one single point of catastrophic failure.
