Reference Page (1 slide) Your company produces medical devices and purchases plastic molded fittings from a company in
Beijing, China. It is rumored the Chinese supplier is being acquired by a plastics company in
Saratov, Russia. If this acquisition is completed, the fabrication of the plastic fittings will be relocated
to Saratov. It is expected to take six months to transition production to the new location once the
agreement is signed.
The current situation with the Chinese supplier has not been good. It is behind on deliveries due to
shortage of plastic resin from its supplier as well as transportation delays coming into the U.S. due to
backups at the West Coast sea ports. This has caused back orders to your customers.
While you are working to close the gap in current supply, you know this change in supplier location
will only create additional risk to your supply chain.
Choose one of the following to complete this assignment:
Option 2: Presentation
Create a 15-slide PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes that defines the methods you will
use to manage risk associated with an already tight supply line and a relocation of a key supplier to
Russia. Be specific in identifying potential risks and detail your recommendations to mitigate these
risks. Include illustrations and graphics to further support your position. Include actions to manage
information technology solutions that may support risk mitigation.
Format your presentation consistent with APA guidelines.
