Assess Risk Exposure - IBP Risk & Exposure Scorecard

Tip: Score based on real behavior (not what you wish were true). If something doesn't apply, score the closest equivalent decision in your business.

Decision Risk Controls 5 questions · max 25

1. Tradeoffs are decided in-meeting (not "offline later")

2. Escalation thresholds are defined (price, lead time, expedite approval)

3. Overrides are tracked (who/why) and reduced over time

4. Actions have owners and due dates, and are followed up

5. Decision latency is measured (issue → decision → action)

Higher scores indicate stronger controls and lower risk exposure.

6. The true constraint is explicitly defined and agreed by leadership

7. Capacity/constraints are modeled (internal + supplier) and reviewed regularly

8. The constraint is protected from noise (priority list + frozen windows)

9. Product/customer priorities reflect constraint economics

10. The value of a constraint hour is understood and used in decisions

11. Plans translate into revenue, margin, and cash (by scenario)

12. Finance participates in planning decisions (not just reporting)

13. Working capital targets are set and tied to service strategy

14. Expediting costs and margin leakage are visible and managed

15. Capital decisions are evaluated through constraint ROI and payback

16. Forecast bias is monitored (not just accuracy)

17. Scenarios are modeled with trigger points (base/upside/downside)

18. A frozen execution window reduces plan churn

19. Variability sources are targeted (quality, changeovers, supplier OTIF)

20. Exceptions are reviewed early enough to matter (before expediting)

21. There is one agreed-upon plan across functions

22. Meeting cadence is consistent and attended by decision-makers

23. Priorities are enforced consistently (not who shouts loudest)

24. KPI scoreboard is shared (service, inventory, margin, cash)

25. The leadership team holds owners accountable for outcomes
