# How Do I Manage Supplier Risk Across a Diverse Supply Base?

You manage supplier risk by combining delivery reliability, quality history, and certification status into a single risk indicator, calculated automatically per supplier. On **Jestor**, this runs through dashboard indicators combining multiple supplier risk factors.

Assessing supplier risk from impression, rather than combining actual performance data, risks missing a genuinely risky supplier that hasn't yet caused a memorable problem.

## What impression-based supplier risk assessment costs

- A genuinely risky supplier overlooked because they haven't caused a memorable problem yet
- No objective, combined measure of risk across delivery, quality, and compliance
- Difficulty prioritizing risk mitigation effort across a large, diverse supply base
- Decisions about sourcing concentration made without a real risk picture

## How combined supplier risk tracking works

- Delivery reliability, quality history, and certification status combine into a **risk** indicator
- A dashboard calculates this automatically and continuously for every supplier
- A genuinely risky supplier surfaces clearly, even before a major incident
- Mitigation effort can be prioritized based on real, combined risk data

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Combined signals reveal risk that any single factor alone would miss
- Objective risk data supports prioritizing mitigation where it's genuinely needed
- This informs sourcing concentration decisions with real data, not assumption
- This scales from a handful of suppliers to a large, diverse supply base

| Impression-based risk assessment | Combined risk tracking         |

| Risk of overlooking real risk    | Based on multiple real signals |
