Global Supply Chain Diagnostic
Aon has developed a proprietary diagnostic tool to help risk leaders quickly assess their
organization’s global supply chain exposures across a variety of key marketplace supply
chain indicators.
In the complex and dynamic global risk environment, risk managers play an increasingly
vital role in helping their organizations understand, prioritize and manage critical exposures
affecting their operations and supply chains.
Today, along with catastrophic property risks, expanding cyber threats, terrorism, supplier
insolvency, product integrity and reputational issues, businesses relying on global supply
chains must navigate widening geopolitical challenges brought by rising nationalism.
As business leaders, planning, finance and operations executives strive to anticipate how
these developments might affect their cross-border trade relationships, effective and
forward-looking supply chain risk management is critical to sound decision-making. Aon’s
Supply Chain Diagnostic helps clients flag supply chain vulnerabilities and improve resiliency.

4. 2 Global Supply Chain Diagnostic 2017
Building on its successful Laser Diagnostics for Property and Casualty programs, Aon
developed a high-level supply chain diagnostic tool to provide clients with an objective
and standardized assessment to help drive continual improvement in their supply chain
risk management.
Why Take the Survey?
Whether your firm is fully engaged in managing
risks related to its supply chain or is only beginning
the process of evaluating these exposures, taking
the survey and reviewing the diagnostic will help
your firm strengthen its overall supply chain risk
management.
The diagnostic gives you a fast, easy and cost-
effective assessment on how effectively your firm
is dealing with a wide range of potential supply
chain exposures.
The assessment is based on a brief survey covering
more than a dozen different elements of supply
chain risk. Many of the exposures apply to all types
of businesses, but some may have acute effects on
companies in specific industries or with trading
partners in certain areas of the world.
Examining Supplier and Enterprise Risks
The diagnostic encompasses a wide range of
exposures that relate specifically to suppliers as
well as enterprise risks that could represent
specific supply chain vulnerabilities.
Among the supplier risks are disruptions in supplies
of raw materials or components resulting from a
wide range of causes, as well as natural disaster risks,
supplier insolvency, product integrity and unethical
supplier practices.
The enterprise risks assessed in the diagnostic include
geopolitical events, legal and regulatory issues,
intellectual property theft, cyber-related exposures,
pandemic and customer financial issues.
While not intended as an exhaustive review, Aon’s
Supply Chain Diagnostic provides an objective
assessment to help identify specific areas of relative
strength in risk management and inform the client on
aspects of their supply chain risk program that might
be targeted for improvement.
Further, the diagnostic may be especially useful for
businesses operating in a dynamic environment
where changes to supply chains may be needed
or contemplated. In these situations, assessments
of potential exposures and related management or
mitigation measures often must be conducted quickly
and efficiently.
Given the pressures for risk managers to provide
informed and timely perspectives on a spectrum of
risks to facilitate informed strategic decision-making,
the supply chain diagnostic review underpins Aon’s
commitment to help clients optimize total cost of risk
(TCOR) in meeting their critical business objectives
for growth and performance.
Continual Improvement in Supply
Chain Risk Management

Pinpointing Risk Management Strengths and
Deficiencies
The Aon Supply Chain Diagnostic report includes a Best Practices Dashboard that identifies key
components of the major categories evaluated.
Diagnostic findings are conveyed in a “stoplight” approach. The green, yellow, and red color indicators
provide a quick-reference visual key to delineate areas where a specific issue or exposure may or may
not warrant further scrutiny:
The results provide a framework for clients to benchmark improvements and changes in elements
of their supply chain risk management over time against their own historical performance, as well as
with Aon’s proprietary peer data and generally accepted insurance industry information.
To add context to the findings, the Aon Supply Chain team together with an Aon Industry Practice
specialist and your Aon account representative will bring their individual perspectives on current
situational marketplace realities that might be especially relevant to a client’s operations and supply
chain risk profile.
