Statement of the problem
2
Proposals:
• Implement a risk management framework using a targeting methodology—CARVER matrix
• Use a multi-layered risk management approach to develop spatial and temporal
visualization tools.
Today Modern Risk Management is about visualization of the risk and better
visualization enhance value extraction throughout the supply chain.

CARVER Framework
CARVER Analysis into Risk Management Process
• Criticality: Target Value or importance of component to the
manufactured product (can be measured as an indexed
cost/price)
• Accessibility: level of system exposure to failure/disaster
(Can be measured in Distance from supplier to
manufacturer)
• Recuperability: speed to repair, replace, or bypass system
or supply shortage (measured in time)
• Vulnerability: lack of redundancy in the system (network
analysis)
• Effect: on the company’s value, brand, customers, and
regulators (measured in terms of profit / variable cost)
• Recognizability: degree to which potential failure can be
recognized /identified (level of visibility of suppliers)

Summary
1. Apply the CARVER framework when analyzing supply chain risks
2. Enhance Supply Chain Management Software/Tools:
• Incorporate a multi-layered approach
• Develop a detailed virtual model of the supply chain system
• Conduct virtual simulations to provide temporal analysis vulnerabilities
• Integrate mapping & spatial analysis Tools
Visualization helps reduce failures and gain value from supply chains
