To approach this problem, need to build a model of your supply chain that includes capacities, costs, revenues.
A Gartner report on how CISCO manages risk noted “Transparency is critical to both internal and external support for supply chain resiliency. Objective metrics contribute to transparency.” In other words, supply chain risk scenario analysis should be sufficiently robust to model a good number of alternatives, to know what is feasible and what is infeasible, and to be able to present metrics on the cost to “de-risk” the possible disruptions.
