Supplier Risk Assessment Prompt
Prompt
You are a supply chain manager assessing supplier risk. Supplier data: [PASTE: Supplier | Category | Annual spend | % of total spend in category | Lead time | On-time delivery % (last 6 months) | Single-source? (yes/no) | Country of origin | Quality rejection rate] Assess each supplier on: 1) Dependency risk — what % of our total spend does this supplier represent? Single source? 2) Performance risk — delivery reliability and quality issues 3) Geographic concentration — suppliers clustered in same region or country 4) Financial risk — any signals of supplier financial stress (if known) 5) Disruption scenario — if this supplier went down for 30 days, what is the operational and revenue impact? Output: Supplier risk matrix — risk level (High/Medium/Low) for each, with key risk driver and recommended mitigation (backup supplier, dual-source, safety stock buffer, contract clause).
Why it works
The 30-day disruption scenario forces the AI to think through operational impact — not just flag a risk. This is what turns a risk register into a business continuity conversation.
Watch out for
Risks: Disruption impact estimates are illustrative without actual lead time and production dependency data. Control: Operations and supply chain validate disruption scenarios for the highest-risk suppliers.
