Automate Your Supply Chain Risk Assessment
detail.loadingPreview
Proactively identify and mitigate supply chain risks with this automated workflow. This solution leverages real-time data to provide a comprehensive risk score and actionable insights for your suppliers.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to provide a robust and automated solution for assessing supply chain risks. It begins by scheduling a daily risk assessment at 6 AM, ensuring timely updates. The system then retrieves active supplier data from your PostgreSQL database, enriching it with financial health assessments from Dun & Bradstreet and monitoring relevant news and events via NewsAPI. Performance data, including recent delivery and quality scores, is also pulled from your database. A sophisticated code node then combines these data points to calculate a comprehensive risk score for each supplier. This score is categorized into low, medium, high, and critical levels, triggering specific recommended actions and flagging potential impacts. The workflow also allows for configurable risk thresholds and escalation rules, empowering you to tailor the system to your unique operational needs.
Key Features
- Automated Daily Risk Assessment: Schedule your risk evaluations to run automatically every day.
- Multi-Source Data Integration: Combines financial health, operational performance, and news sentiment for a holistic view.
- Configurable Risk Thresholds: Define your own parameters for medium, high, and critical risk levels.
- Actionable Risk Levels & Recommendations: Automatically categorizes risk and suggests appropriate mitigation strategies.
- Real-time Data Analysis: Leverages APIs and database queries for up-to-date supplier insights.
How To Use
- Schedule Trigger: Configure the 'Daily Risk Assessment' node to run at your desired interval (default is daily at 6 AM).
- Define Risk Parameters: Update the 'Risk Settings' node with your preferred 'mediumRiskThreshold', 'highRiskThreshold', and 'criticalRiskThreshold'. Also, set the email addresses for 'procurementEmail' and 'riskManagerEmail'.
- Connect Data Sources: Ensure your PostgreSQL database connection is correctly configured for 'Get Active Suppliers' and 'Get Performance Data'. For 'Get Financial Health', configure your D&B API credentials and ensure the URL is correct. For 'Monitor News & Events', configure your NewsAPI key and ensure the endpoint is accurate.
- Review Calculation Logic: Examine the 'Calculate Risk Score' code node to understand the risk scoring algorithm. Customize weights and criteria as needed.
- Implement Alerts & Actions: Connect the output of the 'Calculate Risk Score' node to subsequent nodes (not shown in snippet) for sending notifications, triggering alerts, or initiating further actions based on the determined risk level.
