Stress-Testing Supply Chain Risk Plans to Protect Project Margins & Delivery Schedules
2:00 pm - Thursday 28th January 2027
- Developing procurement plans against commodity increases, supplier failure, labor shortages, and logistics disruptions to identify where current mitigation measures remain insufficient
- Comparing contingency strategies including alternative suppliers, advance purchasing, inventory buffers, and commercial risk allocation to select the most effective response for each exposure
- Reviewing successful and unsuccessful mitigation decisions from live projects to improve risk ownership and prevent repeated cost and schedule impacts
Practical Takeaway: Test procurement plans against realistic disruption scenarios to uncover weak points, compare contingency options, and strengthen risk responses before cost or schedule impacts occur
