Supply chain management device

Abstract

[Problem] The objective is to calculate the impact on companies constituting the supply chain due to changes in the supply of purchased goods caused by supply chain risks, as well as the effectiveness of countermeasures against such supply chain risks, and simultaneously urge corresponding actions. [Solution] A supply chain management device for managing the supply chain includes: a risk monitoring unit that calculates a numerical value of the supply chain risk of delayed or interrupted supply of purchased goods based on risk information obtained from external devices and component and supplier information obtained from a memory unit; a risk scenario generation unit that generates risk scenarios related to changes in the supply of purchased goods caused by supply chain risks; a risk status judgment unit that formulates countermeasures against supply chain risks based on the risk scenarios; and a production impact calculation unit that calculates the impact on companies constituting the supply chain based on the risk scenarios; wherein, for each purchased item, the device provides information on supply chain risks, countermeasures against supply chain risks, or the impact of supply chain risks.
