Supply Pipeline & Risk

The Supply Pipeline & Risk dashboard provides visibility into open purchase orders, vendor delays, and supply concentration risks. It covers what supply is expected and when, how much of it is already late, and which vendors or items represent the highest exposure to your production plan. Use this dashboard to help procurement teams prioritize vendor follow-up, assess supply chain risk, and take action before delays reach the shop floor.

When reviewing this dashboard, a high % Open PO Lines Late is often the first signal that supply chain disruptions are already in progress. Vendors with both high open supply value and significant late quantities deserve immediate follow-up since they combine financial exposure with delivery risk. The Open Supply Timeline can reveal uneven supply flow that may create downstream production bottlenecks even before orders become formally overdue.

Benefits of this dashboard​

  • Quantify total supply exposure by volume and value across all open purchase orders.
  • Identify late supply and measure its financial and operational impact.
  • Pinpoint high-risk vendors based on the combination of supply value and delivery performance.
  • Spot supply gaps and spikes in the incoming supply timeline before they affect production.
  • Focus procurement actions on the vendors and items that matter most.

Key performance indicators (KPIs)​

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are displayed at the top of the dashboard. They give you an at-a-glance summary of the current supply situation and update based on the filters you apply.

KPIDescription
Open Supply QtyTotal quantity expected from open purchase orders, reflecting the overall volume of incoming supply.
Open Supply ValueTotal value of expected incoming supply, indicating the financial exposure tied to open vendor commitments.
Late Open Supply QtyQuantity of supply that has passed its promised date, helping quantify the operational impact of delays.
Late Open Supply ValueTotal value of supply not received by the promised date, a direct indicator of supply chain disruption.
Open PO LinesNumber of active purchase order lines currently outstanding.
% Open PO Lines LatePercentage of purchase order lines that are currently past due, a key measure of overall supplier reliability.

Visual components​

ViewTypeWhat it shows
Open Supply Value by VendorStacked BarRanks vendors by total supply value, split between late and on-time supply. Identifies high-dependency vendors and those contributing most to delays.
Open Supply Value by ItemStacked BarBreaks down open supply value by item, split between late and on-time supply. Highlights critical materials and high-value supply dependencies.
Open Supply TimelineSplineTime-based view of expected incoming supply value. Shows supply spikes and gaps that could create production bottlenecks.
Vendor Risk MapBubblePlots each vendor by open supply value (X-axis) against late open supply value (Y-axis), with bubble size reflecting supply quantity. Vendors in the top-right quadrant combine high value and high lateness and should be prioritized first. The further right and higher up a vendor sits, the greater the risk.
