Mapping the supplier's supply chain to identify risks and opportunities is likely the best choice to minimize future interruptions. This will help the firm understand the entire supply chain and make improvements as necessary to avoid disruptions in the future. Requiring cycle count reports or conducting an ISO 14001 audit may not address the root cause of the interruption, while implementing a sales and operations planning process may be too costly and time-consuming for a second-tier supplier.
