“We decided to further invest in technology to better understand intricacies of our SC (recovery times, weaknesses) etc. to identify and mitigate risk proactively.”
WD
A continuous, ongoing capability, embedded in our operating model
“During our evaluation of alternative supply chain risk solutions post flood, Resilinc stood out from the crowd as the choice for WDC.
Their industry-leading solution provides the scalable and continuous visibility we need to proactively manage our global supply chain risks and potential disruptions.”
Publicly announced on March 15, 2013
WD’s Suppliers benefited from Resilinc too!Suppliers did not need to invest in IT integration. Resilinc provided group and 1/1 training in multiple languages/time zones.With one effort, suppliers were able to satisfy more than just WD’s requirements over time.Resilinc helped suppliers understand and feel comfortable about sharing their data with WD.
Mapping the supply chain genome, every site, every part
With only one dedicated headcount, WD was able to get an extensive mapping plus 24x7 monitoring program off the ground.
Working with tier one suppliers first, Resilinc on boarded each of WD’s Suppliers, mapping sites and parts.
Within six months, a global picture of the supplier footprint emerged.In order to protect customer confidentiality, screenshots are not actual customer data
WD has mapped disruption scenarios for single sourced raw materials
Recovery risk measures how fast and well a site can bounce back from a disruption.

WD
Right Size Inventory Levels
Collaborate with supplier to get tooling/equipment for alternate site*
Pre-qualify critical parts at alternate site*
Buy a capacity option for preferential allocation*
* Evaluate Revenue Impact of site/part to determine if business case can be made for investment in proactive mitigation. Not appropriate for every risk type (example, supplier financial risk)
“Can you be risk free all the time? NO, risk free doesn’t exist, but you can be much more prepared for the next event.
There’s a lot of focus on top 80% spend suppliers, but often, it’s the 20% where you may find weakness. Understanding risk in the low 20% of spend suppliers, is very important.
Use big data to mitigate before events occur. This is a much more responsible way to manage your supply chain.”
