Adoption boundary

Where spreadsheets are enough and where systems help

Supply-chain workbooks are good for aligning decision logic. When data sources, permissions, and reminders grow, move the repeated parts into a system.

Spreadsheet fit

One team aligning quickly

When data volume is small and the rule is still being tested, a workbook is the fastest shared layer.

  • Single team
  • Manual review
  • Short pilot
Partial systemization

More alerts and approvals

When the same result needs routing or approval, systemize the key checkpoints first.

  • Automatic alerts
  • Approval flow
  • Owner tracking
Full systemization

Cross-warehouse coordination

When data sources, permissions, and update frequency grow, move data and workflow into a shared system.

  • Multiple sources
  • Access control
  • Process history

FAQ

Supply-chain template FAQ

Review the inputs and operating boundary before downloading.

Do the weights need to stay 40/30/20/10?

No. The workbook uses that mix as a starting point, and teams can adjust it by category strategy.

Why use risk tiers?

A score is informative, but a tier makes the operating decision clearer.

Does the chart update automatically?

Yes. The radar chart maps the latest score inputs.
