NEUPC Event hosted by Achilles. Free for UKUPC Members
Join us for an extremely valuable morning for both Heads of Procurement, Category Managers and Category Leads alike.
The webinar delivered by Jenny Smith and Katie Tamblin from Achilles will provide an introduction to understanding risk, supply chain resilience factors from the ASCRI Q1 report, how to manage risks using supply chain map, followed by practical applications and a Q&A session.
In this session, we’ll take a deep dive into the most common supply chain risk factors members have faced in 2021 and will face in 2022. Achilles will provide a framework for analysing supply chain risk, present the findings of its Q1 Supply Chain Risk Report, and walk-through specific procurement examples and actions that can be taken to mitigate risks. We will look at the latest risk profile of key equipment and electronic purchases, as well as rising prices applying pressure elsewhere, driving up hidden risk factors in the service sector, like modern slavery and environmental impacts of doing business. In the Category Application, we’ll look at how chip shortages are impacting purchases of IT equipment, and how some teams successfully mitigated the impact of price increases and supply disruptions at the start of “Chipaggedon”.

Achilles Supply Chain Resilience Index (ASCRI)
The ASCRI is an index that aims to resolve leveraging via global, regional, and company-specific factors to determine directional changes in supply chain risk. The publication of our index figure is on a scale of 1-100, with 1 representing very low resilience, and therefore a very high risk of supply chain disruption, and 100 representing very high resilience, and therefore very low risk of supply chain disruption. Accompanying each quarterly index update is a report outlining the key factors impacting supply chain risk in the most recent quarter. In the January ASCRI report, we will look at the 2021Q4 index update, and outline key factors driving supply chain risk in the three months ending in December 2021.
