Risk
Sphera's Paul Grandy says to map supply risk at three levels: sites, products and raw materials. One factory makes many things. Only some of them go into your product.
Sphera's Paul Grandy explains how software and analysts narrow world news down to alerts on your suppliers' sites, and where teams fall short after the alert arrives.
Sphera alerted Ypsomed five minutes after a fire near one of its suppliers made the news. Here's who acted, and how everyone else stays informed.
Ypsomed asks its suppliers to name their own suppliers for business continuity. Where they can't, an AI agent watches the regions its raw materials come from.
Ypsomed visited a peer, ran a small proof of concept and sent Sphera its supplier master file. Setup and training took ten days.
Roland Seckler runs Ypsomed's supply chain on four pillars: shared forecasts, long-term contracts, a best-fit inventory policy with emergency stock, and a trained team with software.
