Mаrcus Riverа, the Seniоr Supply Chаin Analyst at Oriоn Cоmponents, has been tasked with designing a more resilient sourcing strategy for a critical electronic component used in the company’s flagship product line. The component is highly specialized and difficult to replace on short notice, making supply continuity a top priority. Drawing on global risk forecasts and supplier performance records, Marcus identifies two key disruption risks: A risk, that could disrupt all suppliers at once, is estimated at 1% for any given supply cycle. The other risk, that affects only one supplier independently, is estimated at 5% per supplier. Orion can choose to work with many nearly identical and independent suppliers, each offering comparable quality, lead times, and unique risk. However, managing more suppliers also increases operational costs. The marginal cost of managing each supplier is $100, and the financial loss in the event of total disruption is projected to be $80,000. Marcus must evaluate different supplier count scenarios and recommend the most cost-effective and risk-resilient configuration. Questions: How much total supply chain disruption risk is reduced by increasing the number of suppliers from 1 to 2?[Pn] How much of expected monetary cost of managing suppliers reduced by increasing the number of suppliers from 1 to 2?[emc] Maintenance of how many suppliers is optimal for Orion Components and how much is the minimized expected monetary cost?[optimal] Suppose the current probability of total supply chain disruption, P(n), is 2.3%. How much of this risk is diversifiable—that is, potentially eliminated by increasing the number of suppliers.[div]
