SUPPLIERS RISK ANALYSIS
(A ready made, fully customizable template of this document is available for purchase and download. For details please click here).
Click on the image below to view the 'Suppliers sheet' in the Risk Analysis template. Complete a list of suppliers to your business.
Include suppliers of raw materials for production, office supplies, delivery services and wholesalers (for retailers) for example. Do not include suppliers of utilities as this is covered in a separate section.
In the first column, enter the name of the supplier and the item supplied.
In the second column, enter a score between 1 and 5 for the importance of the supply item in your day-to-day operations, where 1 indicates low importance and 5 indicates high importance.
In the third column, assess the impact on operations if supply of that item is interrupted. 1 indicates low impact, and 5 indicates high impact.
In the fourth column, determine your current back-up supplier status, where 1 indicates you have full back-up in place and ready, and 5 indicates there is no back-up in place for this item.
Finally add together the scores in column 2, 3 & 4 and place the total in the fifth column.
The score you are looking to reach is the lowest score possible. A total score of 3 points would indicate that this item is least important, has least impact if supply is interrupted, and you have full back-up in place and ready anyway.
Conversely a total score of 15 would indicate that this item is extremely important, the impact if supply is interrupted would be disastrous and currently no back-up supplier is in place.
An item with a score of 15 would need immediate and top priority attention.

| Pandemic Hybrid Of Bird And Human Seasonal Flu Possible Say Scientists |
|
An international team of scientists has created a highly pathogenic laboratory hybrid of the H5N1 bird flu and human seasonal flu viruses by swapping just one gene, and propose that a similar genetic interaction could happen in nature between the current pandemic H1N1 swine flu and H5N1 avian flu strains, highlighting the importance of continued surveillance...

Genetic interactions between avian H5N1 influenza and human seasonal influenza viruses have the potential to create hybrid strains combining the virulence of bird flu with the pandemic ability of H1N1, according to a new study. In laboratory experiments in mice, a single gene segment from a human seasonal flu virus, H3N2, was able to convert the avian H5N1 virus into a highly pathogenic form...

The two strains of the H1N1 influenza virus responsible for the 1918 and 2009 global flu pandemics do not cause disease in birds. The results of the study, published in the February issue of the Journal of General Virology, also show it is unlikely that birds played a role in the spread of the H1N1 virus in these pandemics...
