Week 4 Discussion: Financial Risks and Operational Risks

CO3: Differentiate risk among components including strategic, hazard, financial, and operations

Discussion Prompt:

1. Supplier selection is among the most critical in managing supply chains. Our discussion will guide us in developing tools which monitor the financial health of a supplier. Our text discusses the Z score in Chap 6. What does the Z score do? Please conduct some Internet research and support your comments with a brief overview of supplier bankruptcies in the news. Were there red flags that were not seen before a supplier went out of business?

Select at least two, but no more than three examples from each and offer your perspectives on ways to mitigate their negative impact.
