DEKRA Supply Chain Resilience

Global supply chains face a variety of risks, such as supplier failures, quality issues, cyberattacks, geopolitical events, and changing regulatory requirements. Limited visibility across complex supplier networks makes identifying and prioritizing these risks early on difficult.

How We Support You

Every supply chain is different, as is the point at which action is needed. Some organizations need to assess a specific supplier or risk, while others require a broader view of processes, compliance requirements, or entire supplier networks. Therefore, the right approach depends on your supply chain and priorities.

Our experts support you with flexible combinations of supply chain mapping, supplier screening, risk scoring, monitoring, auditing, and other assessments. Depending on your needs, you can use individual services on their own or combine them with other measures. This enables us to focus on the suppliers, processes, and risk areas that matter most to your organization.

Targeted Services for Your Supply Chain Challenges

Different supply chain challenges require different approaches. Depending on your priorities, targeted assessments, audits, and compliance services can address specific suppliers, regulatory requirements, or broader risks throughout your supply chain.

Supplier assessments evaluate whether current and potential suppliers meet your specific quality requirements, internal standards, and relevant industry regulations. Depending on the scope, DEKRA can conduct on-site evaluations, qualification assessments, risk assessments, and quality benchmarking.

What This Means for You

You gain greater transparency across your supplier network, can identify quality issues and improvement potential at an early stage, and make more informed sourcing decisions. This helps you strengthen the reliability and performance of critical supply chain partners.

Supply Chain Risk Management Compliance addresses regulatory and due diligence risks across complex supplier networks. Depending on the requirements at hand, DEKRA can provide risk mapping, gap analysis, supplier audits, action planning, and ongoing monitoring.

What This Means for You

You can better understand where compliance risks are concentrated, prioritize the measures that matter most and respond more systematically to evolving regulatory requirements. This creates a stronger basis for maintaining compliant and resilient supply chain operations.

A Supply Chain Act Audit evaluates relevant processes and measures against applicable due diligence requirements related to human rights and environmental risks. This approach may include an initial assessment, self-assessment, risk analysis, and a comprehensive audit of relevant supply chain processes.

What This Means for You

You gain a clearer picture of potential compliance gaps and areas where preventive or remedial measures may be required. This allows for a more systematic implementation of due diligence requirements and helps you respond more effectively to identified risks.
