Supply Audit

Most people think that auditing the supply chain for their business continuity and ability to
continue providing goods and services is only necessary for large manufacturing companies
with Just In Time processes of 4 hours or less. While this is true for most manufacturing
environments of any size, it also applies to the service industry, education and government.
Essentially it applies to everybody. Imagine if your web page service provider, or the email
service provider or your Telco went down. Do you outsource all or part of your IT? What
other service going down could bring your operation to a crawl or complete stop?
