Trade Lane Risk Analysis (Trade Lanes)

Trade Lane Risk Analysis is used to identify trade lanes with the highest risk by providing a method to perform the following:
  • Map out the specific business partners involved in a given trade lane
  • Incorporate the roles and processes of those partners in the supply chain
  • Calculate the risk factors specific to each business partner in the trade lane (e.g. vulnerability, threat, and consequence scores)
To access the
Trade Lane Risk Analysis
 screen, click the
Trade Lane Risk Analysis
 selection from the
Reports & Analysis
 menu.
The
Trade Lane
 screen will list all trade lanes that have been created by any user.

Viewing Trade Lane Corrective Actions

When viewing a specific trade lane, you can view the partner’s Corrective Actions by clicking the number link under the
Corrective Actions
 column. The link redirects to the
Questionnaire Status
 screen for the specified partner.
The
Edit Trade Lanes Risk Analysis
 screen displays the specific results for each added partner (based on the existing partner profile) and vulnerability score (based on their completion of a Questionnaire).
If a field on the grid is empty for a partner, it is because that field has not been completed in the partner’s profile and/or a Questionnaire has not been completed for that partner. As a result, no score could be calculated to populate the field.
This screen also provides the option for you to apply weighted values for risk components (vulnerability, threat and consequence). As a default, the system weights each component the same.
However, if you would prefer to weight the components differently (e.g. heavier weight applied to the vulnerability scores) the
Risk Component Weight
 box will allow for this. Enter the weighted values and click
Set
.
