Practically Applying Sourcing Grids for Risk Management Thomas Tanel
Purchasing and supply management have never been easy. The past several years have caused many executives and professionals to lose more sleep and gain more gray hair (or lose more hair) than usual; therefore, the next decade requires upgraded skill sets to survive.
Portfolio analysis is one of the most powerful techniques
used by the purchaser, despite its simplicity. It is a simple “grid” tool that charts the amount we spend on products or services and the complexity of its acquisition.
Portfolio analysis helps us define our sourcing strategy and the best sourcing techniques to use dependent upon the position on the sourcing grid. It also defines the relationships (supplier positioning) we need to have with our key suppliers and gives us an insight in how the key suppliers may see us in perception model. It allows you to organize your time and
resources for maximum benefit and it encourages strategic thinking and analysis to reduce cost, add value, and minimize risk.

KEY ELEMENTS OF SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGY
A supply chain strategy involves many interlocking activities and decisions, large and small. According
to Michael Porter, strategy guru and author of Competitive Advantage, successful business strategy relies
on the concept of “fit”—that is, a group of activities that support a chosen competitive strategy.
Although any single activity can be copied, the activities taken together form a system that is virtually
impossible to duplicate.9
Porter’s concept of fitness holds equally true for supply chain strategy. Five elements of your
business—and the choices you make regarding these elements—are fundamental:
Customer service. What are your objectives in terms of delivery speed, accuracy, and
flexibility?
Sales channels. How will your customers order and receive your goods and services?
Value system. Which supply chain activities will be performed by your organization and which
by your partners?
Operating model. How will you organize the planning, ordering, production, and delivery
processes to provide customer service while still meeting your working capital and cost
objectives?
Asset footprint. Where will you locate your supply chain resources, and what is their scope of
action?
Companies often make decisions about each of these elements in isolation, without considering the
others. It’s possible, for example, to develop a manufacturing footprint that reduces costs, only to fall
short of required customer-service levels. To get the full strategic benefit a supply chain can offer,
however, it’s critical to treat each element as part of an integrated whole (Figure 1.2).

CUSTOMER SERVICE
The first step in developing a supply chain strategy is to define customer service objectives. Offering
various levels of delivery speed, accuracy, and flexibility for different types of customers can help
distinguish the overall customer experience. Should, for example, deliveries reach all customers in the
same amount of time, or should customers who are more valuable receive deliveries faster? Should the
ordering process be the same for all customers? Answers to questions like these will be dictated by your
company’s business strategy and target audience—that is, whether you are addressing B2C or B2B
segments.
Business to Consumer
In the B2C world, off-the-shelf product availability is often the key service criterion. Customers are
willing to wait for hot products from a leading brand—but only up to a point. Retailer Nordstrom

That task is to develop a pricing strategy for the new software product, Bizlife. Your goal is to set a price that maximizes revenue while also ensuring market competitiveness and value for customers.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
