How we can help
A backup supplier is only useful if it can meet the requirement when needed. Continuity planning should test capacity, qualification, lead times and the internal decisions needed to activate an alternative.
Identify critical dependencies
Map the supplies and services with the greatest operational impact. Review single-source exposure, stock coverage and the time needed to recover or qualify another route.
Evaluate response options
Assess alternate suppliers, substitute products, buffer stock and phased delivery against the operating requirement. Record cost, availability and approval assumptions.
Make the plan usable
Define triggers, owners and contact routes. Review the response plan with the people who would use it and update it when suppliers or operating requirements change.
What you can expect from the engagement
A critical supply register, contingency options assessment, response action plan and review schedule with clear activation responsibilities.
Planning your next step
Share the immediate problem, the timescale and the information already available. We will discuss the support required, agree the scope and responsibilities, and confirm the practical next steps before starting work.
Does continuity planning mean holding more stock?
Additional stock is one option, but it has cost and obsolescence implications. Alternative sources, better visibility, specification flexibility and clearer response procedures may also reduce exposure.
