Supply Chain Dependency Mapping

It is a systematic process of visually charting all nodes and their interconnections within a supply chain. This map reveals hidden dependencies, such as reliance on common sub-tier suppliers, to identify single points of failure (SPOFs) and concentration risks. It is crucial for complying with regulations like the EU's DORA for ICT third-party risk management and CSDDD for supply chain due diligence.

In Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), the map serves as a foundational tool for building operational resilience. It helps quantify the impact of potential disruptions, enabling the development of targeted contingency plans and alternative sourcing strategies. The map also provides tangible evidence to regulators that the company is proactively managing its third-party risks.

Taiwanese enterprises, especially SMEs, often face challenges with limited visibility into sub-tier suppliers and a lack of specialized tools. Solutions include a phased implementation starting with critical suppliers, leveraging digital platforms for automated data collection, and engaging external experts to establish a systematic framework efficiently.
