Supply Chain Risk & Resilience: Safety Stock, Dual Sourcing & Disruption Scenarios
Score a risk register and colour it as a heat map, measure supplier concentration with the HHI, compare time to recover with time to survive, size safety stock for late deliveries, cost disruption scenarios, weigh dual sourcing and rank resilience investments by NPV: 8 graded labs on one e-bike maker's supply chain.

About this course
A supply chain risk and resilience course that stress-tests one fictional e-bike maker's supply chain in a spreadsheet, for supply chain, procurement and operations staff, risk managers and students. You score ten risks by likelihood times impact, rate them with thresholds kept in cells and colour the register as a heat map, measure supplier concentration with the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and the top supplier's share, compare time to recover with time to survive node by node, size safety stock when demand and lead time both vary, put a dollar value on five disruption scenarios and one expected annual loss, find the outage probability at which a second battery-cell supplier breaks even, draw the cost curve of service levels from 80% to 99.9% and rank five resilience investments by the NPV of the expected loss they avoid. The first lab is free.
