See how supplier mix, inventory buffers (safety stock), and operational choices impact supply chain resilience and risk—so you can prioritize actions that strengthen your supply chain.
Who this calculator is for
- Supply chain and sourcing leaders assessing multi-sourcing strategies
- Program managers running NPI and ramp risk reviews
- Ops finance teams quantifying inventory vs. risk tradeoffs
What you’ll get
- Sourcing Risk Score (SRS): a 0–100 risk exposure measure
- Supply Chain Resilience Index (SCRI): a 0–100 resilience score
- Weighted inputs you can adjust depending on your supply chain strategy
How it works
Enter whole-number inputs for the factors you have available, such as supplier counts, days of inventory, and transport-dependency percentages. In the Advanced section, you can also assign weights to each factor based on your supply chain priorities.
The calculator then generates two index values for risk and resilience, which you can evaluate and compare.
SRS (higher = more risk)
SCRI (higher = more resilience)
To further understand what these values mean, refer to the table below:

Here’s a typical evaluation of these indices across manufacturers when using a 0–100 scale:
| SRS Score Range | SRS (Risk Exposure) | SCRI Score Range | SCRI (Resilience Strength) | Interpretation / Typical Profile |
| 0–30 | Low risk | 80–100 | Best-in-class | Multi-sourced critical parts, qualified suppliers, geographic diversity, strong inventory buffers, quick recovery times |
| 31–60 | Moderate risk | 60–80 | Strong | Diversification in progress, moderate lead times, occasional bottlenecks, resilience actions underway |
| 61–80 | High risk | 40–60 | Baseline | Heavy regional dependency or single-sourcing, longer recovery times, minimal contingency planning |
| 81–100 | Severe risk | 0–40 | Weak | Fragile supply chain, single critical suppliers, long lead times, no redundancy or risk tracking |
In other words:
- SRS ≤ 30 and SCRI ≥ 80 → World-class resilience / low risk
- SRS ~ 50 / SCRI ~ 60 → Average performer
- SRS ≥ 70 / SCRI ≤ 40 → High risk / fragile network
