How Fortune 500s Use Procurement to Manage Supplier Concentration Risk

Episode notes

In this episode of Enterprise Tech with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how Fortune 500 companies are using procurement data and analytics to manage supplier concentration risk — the danger of relying too heavily on a single supplier for critical components. They examine the case of a major automaker that discovered a single supplier provided 80% of its microcontrollers, and how the company used procurement intelligence software to diversify its supply base before a disruption hit. The hosts discuss the tools and strategies enterprises use to map supply chains, set concentration thresholds, and automate sourcing decisions. They also touch on how the SEC's new climate disclosure rules are pushing companies to report on supplier concentration as part of supply chain resilience. A practical look at how procurement is becoming a frontline defense against operational risk.
