EY Consulting: building resilience to supply chain risk

TOP 100 WOMEN

Strengthening supply chain resiliency and forging true supply partnerships is a key imperative that today’s procurement organizations must tackle.

NOTE: Video screenshot appears here.

Written by: Rhys Thomas

No organization is immune to the challenges that threaten supply chains and operational continuity. But risk can be mitigated by building resiliency as an imperative — an objective for which procurement organizations are uniquely placed to achieve.

Chris Windfelder Managing Director EY-Parthenon Ernst & Young LLP

Procurement is expected to create resiliency for certain risks that exist within the supply chain.

This publication contains information in summary form and is therefore intended for general guidance only.

It is not intended to be a substitute for detailed research or the exercise of professional judgment. Member firms of the global EY organization cannot accept responsibility for loss to any person relying on this article.

“Procurement is expected to create resiliency for certain risks that exist within the supply chain,” says Vijay Yalamanchili, Ernst & Young LLP Advisory Services Partner. “We’re seeing a shift of those organizational capabilities in procurement, going beyond sourcing and starting to differentially invest in other areas, including contracting excellence and supplier risk analytics.”

Risk comes in many forms, but can largely be defined under five categories, as identified by Chris Windfelder, EY-Parthenon Managing Director: changes in customer preferences; adoption to technology and associated cyber vulnerability; geopolitical turmoil and governmental regulation; brand perception and social media; and unforeseen supply shocks, such as COVID-19.

“Building resiliency in your supply chain helps to mitigate, or at least understand, where your risk may be across those five overarching profiles,” Windfelder says.

Tabletop exercises and stress tests can be invaluable tools in understanding where an organization’s biggest risks lie. He adds: “It really all starts with trying to laser in on which risks are most likely to occur, while also understanding that there’s always an unknown.”

Strengthening partnerships is also key in today’s market, where the more stretched supply chains and procurement ecosystems become, the more options suppliers have. “You have to be a good customer,” says Windfelder. “Providing a true understanding of how you as a customer can add value to your vendor is equally as important as your vendor adding value to your own market — especially with regard to mitigating risks throughout the supply chain.”

Data is the final tool that procurement organizations must leverage when building true resiliency. “We’re working with many of our clients to understand how they capture data, how they enhance the data that they already have with automation and AI, and then how they bring in the external information that is most valuable to their organization, because there’s a cost in doing so,” Yalamanchili explains.

“These are the key elements of data and analytics that are absolutely critical for driving all the outcomes that are related to risk and building that resiliency.”

n honour of International Women’s Day, Procurement Magazine brings to its readers its debut Top 100 Women from the sector. March was a big month, but the year 2022 in general is a huge one for gender equality in global business.

Following the success of our sister publication’s Top 100 Women in Supply Chain, this year we have put together a list of Top 100 inspirational and leading women in the Procurement sector.

Each and every one of those mentioned in this Top 100 have earned their place and the respect of their peers through hard work, talent and determination.

These are the women changing and defining how global procurement is shaped and functions, not just now, but long into the future.

These women are ready to stand up to the unforeseen challenges to come in the next decade.

TOP 100 WOMEN

Power

N

ow the phrase ‘easier said than done’ comes to mind when reflecting on compiling this year’s Top 100. Putting this list together of truly amazing and talented women was no easy task. It is amazing to see in just a few short years the headway that is being made when it comes to diversity and inclusion in the procurement sector.

Each and every one of those mentioned in this Top 100 have earned their place and respect of their peers through hard work, talent and determination they have shown.

Today, we celebrate not only these women, but every single woman, and we will continue to do so as a business - 365 days a year.

Empowering women in business is something we ardently support and

track as a publication. We congratulate everyone on this list for their dedication, vision, and inspirational leadership.

Our recently-launched sister publication, March8, is a beacon of this leadership and a key partner in our future work to address gender equality and - to borrow its motto - "educate, motivate and elevate" the world and women about the future of global business.

The role of procurement has never been more critical.

In a world defined by its hyperconnectivity and then rocked by the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of procurement decision-making is hard to put into words.

But it does come in the form of people - like these incredible women.
