Warehouse, carrier, port and supplier concentration

Published · Reviewed by The Diligence Standard Team · Updated

Multiple vendors can still share one facility, gateway, carrier network or geographic disruption point.

Records to reconcile

  • Facility and lane map
  • Volume and contribution by node
  • Alternate routing and recovery plans

Warning signal

Apparent diversification masks a common operating bottleneck.

Transaction impact

One disruption can interrupt a large share of revenue.

Response

Measure correlated concentration and test realistic recovery time and cost.
