Build Operational Efficiency and Excellence Through Strategic TPRM
Strategic, holistic third-party risk management (TPRM) is crucial for success within the manufacturing industry. This industry faces significant TPRM challenges, including complex supplier ecosystems, manual processes, and decentralized programs. These challenges can prevent TPRM teams from fully understanding the scope, scale, and diversity of their third-party risks.
To help ensure organization, efficiency, and TPRM improvements, manufacturing organizations require comprehensive visibility across their extended enterprise, as well as capabilities that manage and optimize onboarding, supplier performance, delivery assurances, and other critical processes.
In an industry with a wide third-party threat landscape, manufacturing organizations must efficiently navigate operational, compliance, reputational, and sustainability challenges.
Organizations need to manage and mitigate third-party risks related to:
Decentralized systems, processes, and teams
Disorganized, fragmented data
Reputational and brand risks
ABAC (anti-bribery and corruption)
Sustainability and ESG
Compliance risks
Supply chain disruptions
Vendor performance
