In Recognition of Sandia's SCRM Program, Delivering Over 500 Subcontractor Risk Assessments in 2018
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
The globalization of modern supply chains has resulted in many new risks to Sandia's NW programs and mission. The potential impact of counterfeit products, tampering, theft, malicious software, poor manufacturing and/or development practices, and the influence of foreign governments has become more obvious as new threats and compromises continuously emerge. The Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) team was formed specifically to understand and address these risks. We were able to coalesce around these principles to develop and optimize an effective risk assessment process for critical suppliers, called Subcontractor Risk Assessments (SRAs). These elevated screening techniques are planned and delivered in a cost-effective way for Sandia's programs (no increase to purchasing burden rates) and also demonstrate due diligence to DOE/NNSA as a component of Sandia's overall SCRM strategy. SRAs are communicated in a concise 1-page format complete with recommendations as well as links to reference materials for those who require additional details about the SRA process and results.
