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.


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.
