Practical guide
Does supplier risk actually change how deeply you review?
A risk score is useful only when it changes evidence requirements, review roles, approval and reassessment. This German-language guide connects each supplier risk level to a defined control plan.
Editorial responsibility: Andreas Gallien, founder of Doconio
Separate risk, controls and performance
The method keeps inherent supplier risk, the applied control plan and observed performance distinct so good delivery does not hide a critical dependency.
Compare three supplier relationships
A worked comparison shows why office supplies, packaging logistics and a single-source production component need different evidence, reviewers and approval rules.
Turn uncertainty into owned work
Missing production locations or unresolved knockout criteria remain unknown and create a concrete clarification task instead of silently becoming a low score.

Questions and answers
Questions about the guide
Does the guide prescribe fixed review intervals?
No. It provides a transparent starting model. Your organization defines intervals and minimum controls for its own supplier policy and applicable requirements.
Is country risk used to reject suppliers automatically?
No. Country and location signals provide review context. They do not prove misconduct by a specific supplier and do not create an automatic rejection.
Who is the guide for?
It is written for procurement, supplier quality and quality-management teams that determine evidence and approval requirements for supplier relationships.
