disputes or delays impacting your operations.

The supplier relationship directly influences quality, costs, deadlines and the continuity of operations.

an uncontrolled and non-rationalized panel,
-
financial or reputational risks,
-
unassessed or non-compliant suppliers,
-
quality and delivery issues,

a lack of traceability in the event of an audit or dispute.
