Supplier Risk & Dependency Assessment

Most supply disruptions start as known weaknesses: a single source, a supplier at its capacity limit, a long transport route or a part nobody else can make.

LOGISTAT's supplier risk assessment is forward-looking. It looks across your supply base — single-source parts, lead times, stock coverage and capacity exposure — to show where a future problem would hurt most, and turns that into practical mitigation priorities.

It is not an evaluation of how one supplier performs today, and not recovery support for a supplier already in crisis.

07FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a Supplier Performance Assessment?

A Supplier Performance Assessment evaluates how a specific supplier performs today. Supplier Performance & Recovery stabilises a supplier with an active problem. The Supplier Risk & Dependency Assessment looks ahead, across your supply base, to find where single-source, lead-time and coverage risks are concentrated.

Do you visit suppliers on-site?

When it adds value, yes. Visits to selected high-risk suppliers can be included, depending on scope and location.

What happens when a high-risk supplier is identified?

You receive recommended actions. If needed, LOGISTAT can follow up with a detailed supplier assessment, on-site recovery support or ongoing monitoring.

Where is LOGISTAT based and where do you support projects?

LOGISTAT is based in Slovakia and supports projects across Central & Eastern Europe and selected European markets. Countries listed on this site represent project and service coverage, not offices or permanent teams.
