A look at procurement’s ability to manage supplier risk

Risk is everywhere. And at SAP, we wanted to take an in-depth look at procurement’s ability to manage supplier risk. We collaborated with Oxford Economics to survey 1,000 executives about it.

In our research, 67% of executives say their procurement function is adept at mitigating risks with suppliers. But when we dig deeper, the story isn’t quite so rosy.

  • Just 1 in 3 execs say their procurement function’s supplier risk management is highly effective
  • Only 1/2 of execs regularly refresh risk mitigation plans to address potential disruptions

Despite these readiness challenges, a group of organizations in our survey are better at automatically interpreting and making recommendations about supplier risk.

What are they doing differently? Our supplier risk research report reveals how advanced analytics help procurement predict and manage supplier risk and make better decisions faster.
