Use this supply chain assessment survey to review one defined chain. Seven optional questions cover recent disruptions, the affected point, operational visibility, critical dependency, tested alternatives, readiness barriers and the next action.

Assess One Defined Supply Chain

A broad question about “the supply chain” can blend different products, services, regions and owners. Name the chain, the critical item or service, the 12-month review period and what counts as a significant disruption. The answers then describe a shared operating context instead of an abstract opinion.

Research Context for Resilience Planning

Ozdemir, Sharma, Dhir and Daim tested a supply-chain resilience model with 282 retail employees in the UK perishable-goods market. They report that “Innovation featured as the most effective factor, followed by robustness, empowerment, and risk management via reduced risk.” Read the resilience study . The findings support asking about disruptions, readiness and action, but the pandemic setting and single market limit wider conclusions; the study does not validate this template.

7 Supply Chain Assessment Questions

Use these questions for one named supply chain and define key terms before sharing. Every field is optional. Include “not sure” and “not applicable” so respondents are not forced to guess about systems, suppliers or contingencies they do not know.

Adapt the Assessment to Your Operation

Replace the general examples with the relevant product, service, region and review period. Define a significant disruption, a critical dependency and what “tested” means locally. Invite people from procurement, logistics, operations and continuity roles where appropriate, but avoid collecting confidential contract terms or credentials. Pilot the wording with a few intended respondents before wider use.

Printable Supply Chain Assessment Survey Template

The printable version should mirror all seven online questions, preserve the same choices and leave writing space for the final action. Add the chain name and review period before distribution. Paper responses require secure return, manual review and separate data entry; they are not automatically combined with online answers.

How to Use the Answers

Start with the reported impact point and compare it with visibility, dependency and alternative-readiness responses. A concentrated dependency with no checked alternative suggests a specific review; low visibility may point first to ownership or information access. Group the stated barriers, then assign an owner to investigate one feasible action. Do not add the choices into a resilience score or treat opinions as proof that a contingency will work.

Frequently asked questions

Who should answer this survey?

Invite people with direct knowledge of sourcing, logistics, inventory, operations, systems or continuity for the named chain. Record role groups only when the comparison is necessary and safe.

Is this a supply chain audit?

No. It gathers reported experience and readiness signals. Verify important findings with incident records, supplier information, system data and a formal risk process when those are needed.

Can the answers produce a resilience score?

No. The response options were written for practical review and have not been validated as a scale. Analyze each item and the open comment in context.
