Modern supply chains are more global, complex, and fragile than ever. A single port closure, supplier failure, cyber incident, or regional disruption can ripple through your network and damage service, cost, and reputation. This practical course, Supply Chain Risk Management Step by Step, shows you exactly how to build a structured, repeatable approach to SCRM – from mapping your network to prioritizing risks, designing mitigation, and embedding resilience into daily decisions.

Instead of abstract theory, you’ll work through a clear sequence of steps:

• Understand what supply chain risk and resilience really mean in practice

• Map your end-to-end supply chain, including tiers, nodes, routes, and flows

• Identify and document risks using structured methods and clear formats

• Assess and prioritize risks with likelihood, impact, velocity, and detectability

• Build and maintain a practical supply chain risk register

• Design mitigation strategies for high-likelihood and high-impact risks

• Set up monitoring indicators, reviews, and continuous improvement loops

• Integrate SCRM into planning, sourcing, logistics, and KPI dashboards

Throughout the course, you’ll see concepts applied to a realistic logistics company scenario, so you can easily translate the methods to your own organization. Each major step includes a hands-on assignment where you map your supply chain, build your own risk register, score risks, and design a targeted mitigation plan. By the end, you will have a concrete toolkit you can immediately use in your current role.

This course is ideal for supply chain managers, operations and logistics professionals, procurement specialists, planners, business continuity and risk practitioners, as well as consultants who want a structured, implementation-focused approach to supply chain risk management. If you are responsible for keeping products, materials, and services flowing reliably – and you want a clear, step-by-step method rather than scattered ideas – this course is designed for you.
