Why Choose This Course

The Supply Chain Risk Management training course equips professionals to identify vulnerabilities, assess threats and implement mitigation strategies that protect operational continuity. It addresses the uncertainty, disruption and volatility increasingly affecting organisations within global supply chains. Participants gain practical knowledge and tools to manage risks influencing costs, performance and service reliability. The course supports a proactive approach to developing resilient, agile and future-ready supply chains.

Participants examine how supply chains operate, where internal and external risks arise, and how these risks spread across operations. Key areas include global supply chain dynamics, financial exposure, security concerns and supplier-related vulnerabilities. Real-world case studies, interactive discussions and practical exercises develop confidence in analysing scenarios and applying appropriate risk management tools. The course also considers continuous improvement, supply chain visibility and supplier relationship management as important foundations for stability, efficiency and customer satisfaction.

This Supply Chain Risk Management training course will highlight:

  • Identifying vulnerabilities across global supply chains
  • Assessing internal and external sources of risk
  • Analysing financial, security and supplier-related exposures
  • Applying tools to evaluate risk scenarios
  • Implementing mitigation strategies to reduce disruption
  • Strengthening resilience through visibility, continuous improvement and supplier relationships

Course Goals

What are the Goals?

Upon completing the Supply Chain Risk Management Training Course, participants will understand the principal elements that support supply chain resilience and be equipped to proactively recognise, evaluate, and mitigate risks. They will learn to prioritise risk exposures, use advanced analytical tools, and formulate strategies that maintain operational continuity, even within uncertain environments. The course also develops an understanding of the need to keep cost, service levels, and strategic objectives aligned to achieve effective risk management.

In particular, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the core activities, flows, and drivers that characterise modern supply chains.
  • Recognise, evaluate, and prioritise supply chain risks originating internally and externally.
  • Formulate and execute strategies to minimise, mitigate, and manage risks.
  • Apply advanced tools and frameworks to assess supply chain performance.
  • Create a resilient supply chain that can sustain service excellence when under pressure.
  • Promote a continuous improvement culture to enhance risk awareness throughout operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

This course focuses on planning to avoid uncertainty and control risk in supply chains. It examines supply chain risk management through the linked themes of planning, uncertainty and risk control. The course content is centred specifically on managing risk within supply chains.
The course addresses uncertainty by focusing on planning as a way to avoid or reduce it. It places uncertainty within the context of supply chain risk management. The emphasis is on preparing for uncertainty rather than leaving supply chain risks unmanaged.

The Supply Chain Risk Management training course begins by examining the nature of supply chains, the principal sources and categories of risk, and the relationship between vulnerability, disruption and resilience. The programme covers Understanding the Supply Chain, Identifying Supply Chain Instabilities and Risks, Understanding the Risk Spiral, Reducing Supply Chain Risk, Using Risk Management Tools and Techniques and Rethinking the Supply Chain.

This course is designed for Supply Chain Managers, Supply Chain Risk Managers, Procurement Managers, Purchasing Managers, Logistics Managers and Operations Managers. Participants gain practical knowledge and tools to manage risks influencing costs, performance and service reliability.

Key outcomes of this course include: understand the core activities, flows, and drivers that characterise modern supply chains; recognise, evaluate, and prioritise supply chain risks originating internally and externally; formulate and execute strategies to minimise, mitigate, and manage risks. Participants gain practical knowledge and tools to manage risks influencing costs, performance and service reliability.

Planning is presented as a central method for avoiding uncertainty and controlling supply chain risk. The course links forward planning directly to more deliberate risk management in supply chains. This makes planning a core theme of the training.

Key outcomes of this course include: apply advanced tools and frameworks to assess supply chain performance; create a resilient supply chain that can sustain service excellence when under pressure; promote a continuous improvement culture to enhance risk awareness throughout operations.
