A4084.SupplierStressTest

This tool allows for the evaluation, selection, and enhancement of suppliers, partners, and associates to ensure quality and stability of operations. The tool also offers the possibility to self-evaluate provided performances.

Key Results Solved Problems
Selecting suppliers that meet performance requirements Challenges in finding and selecting suitable suppliers
Evaluating and strengthening supplier activities Variability in the performance offered by suppliers (difficulty in defining a performance rating)
Controlling the reliability of the supply chain and delivery Dependence on third-party performance
Consolidating one’s own production and delivery process Discontinuity in product and service compliance
Verifying the performance received (second-party audits) Obstacles in ensuring the operational continuity of suppliers
Defining expectations and response capabilities objectively Challenges in meeting cost, schedule, and performance quality
Mitigating risks and managing supply interruptions Problems in ensuring compliance with service level agreements
Identifying hidden wastes Variability in one’s performance

A4019.RiskAndWeaknessAssessment

This tool allows to detect risks and establish effective treatment. It enables the identification of new opportunities as well as accepting only sustainable residual risks.

Key Results Solved Problems
Identifying and managing risks and vulnerabilities Lack of a methodological approach to managing risks and opportunities
Avoiding preventable risks Limiting to identifying risks without taking action
Addressing risks in the right order, reducing them to the maximum sustainable level Absence of warning thresholds
Avoiding excessive caution that limits the ability to seize opportunities Tendency to manage risks only when they arise
Ensuring compliance with laws, regulations, norms, and good management practices Neglecting the analysis of operational continuity
Monitoring risks and setting alert thresholds Unawareness of risky processes (absence of process risk assessment)
Verifying proper application through internal audits

A4069.BusinessContinuityStressTest

This tool makes it possible to analyze business continuity, define preventive, containment and recovery measures as well as set the correct priorities.

Key Results Solved Problems
Ensuring operational continuity Inadequate assessment of operational continuity
Integrating preventive measures into routines Vulnerability to unmitigated risks
Limiting vulnerability to interruptions Insufficient use of alert systems
Ensuring service delivery under any circumstance Poor planned redundancy policies
Preventing blackouts and reduced availability Ineffectiveness in monitoring strategies
Defining alarm and monitoring thresholds Underestimating low-frequency, high-impact risks
Documenting your risk-balancing strategy  
Complying with binding laws and good management practices

Having an action plan (shared and reusable) Operational inefficiencies
Keeping control of costs, times, and goals Prolonged waiting times
Documenting standardized procedures Management unforeseen events
Minimizing environmental impact: errors, waste, defects Lack of consideration for the environment

A4032.NonConformityTreatment

This tool provides a methodology to effectively manage non-conformities, failures, and malfunctions, turning them into opportunities for the organization.

Key Results Solved Problems
Decisively addressing non-compliances, faults, and malfunctions Tendency to accept recurring problems
Distinguishing between improvement and non-compliance Ignoring warning signs
Applying solutions following a scale of effectiveness Adopting temporary or palliative solutions
Documenting correct management practices and legal evidence Omitting the investigation of non-conformity causes
Encouraging a resilient and constant approach Unrealized potential due to errors and discrepancies
Identifying waste and reducing environmental impact and costs

A4020.BusinessContinuityActions

This tool catalogs preventive and corrective, mild and acute measures with the aim of ensuring business continuity based on events and alert levels.

Key Results Solved Problems
Establishing response protocols to maintain operational continuity Disorganized individual actions
Preparing an emergency intervention plan Late and limited disruption indicators
Designing layered responses based on alert levels (predictive rather than reactive) Absence of self-analysis on disruptive factors (endogenous and exogenous)
Compiling a responsibility assignment matrix Uncertainties about roles and recovery procedures
Verifying alternative plans Delays in reacting to events
Exploring and verifying mitigation measures Lack of action plans for scenarios
Establishing and testing recovery procedures (disaster recovery)  
Guiding the organization towards planned redundancy and flexibility (resilient approach)
