Introduction

Industrial supply chains move fast—and so do risks. Parakeet Risk’s manufacturing‑focused Third‑Party Risk Management (TPRM) brings AI supplier risk scoring, site/part/BOM visibility, UFLPA/forced‑labor screening workflows, and framework‑aligned evidence into a single, unified program. Built on our Industrial‑Specific AI and Spreadsheet Synergy approach, you get automation that fits factory realities while preserving the knowledge already living in Excel. In short: a unified TPRM program for manufacturing that scores supplier risk with AI, maps BOMs/parts to sites, and operationalizes UFLPA due diligence.

AI‑Driven Supplier Risk Scoring

• Dynamic supplier and site scores with AI rationale and recommended mitigations.

• Inputs include certifications, incidents, delivery/quality trends, geography, and part/BOM linkages.

• Produces BOM‑level heatmaps and auto‑creates corrective actions. Details below.

BOM/Part Mapping

• Link multi‑site suppliers to specific part numbers and BOM positions.

• Roll risk up/down assemblies; run coverage checks before issues hit production.

• Accelerates audits with traceable site ↔ part ↔ BOM evidence. Details below.

UFLPA workflows

• Collect attestations and origin declarations; flag high‑risk geographies.

• Tie findings to parts/BOMs; require updated evidence before PO release.

• Maintain a continuous audit trail for due diligence. Details below.

What’s included

• AI‑driven supplier and site risk scoring powered by the Rosella AI Agent

• Hierarchical visibility from multi‑site suppliers down to parts and BOMs

• UFLPA/forced‑labor screening workflows leveraging material traceability and supplier attestations

• Continuous compliance with real‑time alerts and audit‑ready evidence packs

• Configurable mappings to NIST SP 800‑161, ISO/IEC 27036, and IEC 62443 control objectives

• Pre‑built integrations with tools you use (e.g., Trello, QMS systems), plus spreadsheet import for rapid onboarding

How it works

1. Ingest and normalize data

2. Import supplier/site rosters, certifications, and historical incidents from spreadsheets or connected systems.

3. Map parts and BOMs to approved suppliers to enable part‑level risk views.

4. Score and monitor with AI

5. The Rosella AI Agent analyzes certifications, incidents, delivery and quality trends, geography, and change signals to produce dynamic risk scores and narratives.

6. Continuous monitoring triggers alerts, recommended actions, and evidence capture.

7. Prove compliance on demand

8. Generate audit‑ready evidence for control objectives aligned to NIST SP 800‑161, ISO/IEC 27036, and IEC 62443.

9. Export structured reports or share interactive dashboards with auditors and partners.

Data sources and mapping depth

• Tier‑N visibility: map suppliers to sub‑tiers (Tier‑1 → Tier‑N) with site ↔ part ↔ BOM linkages.

• Part/site/BOM linkage: associate each producing site to specific part numbers and BOM positions; roll risk up/down assemblies.

• Data sources: purchase orders and shipment confirmations, PLM/BOM exports, supplier declarations/attestations, certification records, incident/NC logs, and delivery/quality metrics from connected systems or spreadsheets.

Continuous event monitoring and mitigation playbooks

Monitored event types include:

• Product recalls and regulatory safety notices

• Geopolitical and natural‑disaster disruption signals

• Sanctions/denied‑party and forced‑labor/UFLPA list hits

• Late deliveries, shortages, and capacity constraints

• Quality escapes, audit gaps, and expired certifications

Built‑in playbooks help teams respond fast:

• Place risk holds at the part/site level and block PO release until evidence is updated

• Trigger alternate sourcing and coverage checks across equivalent parts/BOMs

• Open SCAR/CAPA and link remediation to affected parts, with optional sync to your QMS (see QMS Integration)

• Assign owners, due dates, and verification steps; capture evidence automatically

See QMS Integration for SCAR/CAPA alignment and change‑control tie‑ins.

Feature matrix (at a glance)

• Tier‑N supplier mapping with site/part/BOM linkage

• Data ingestion from POs, shipments, PLM/BOM, supplier declarations, and existing spreadsheets

• Event monitoring: recalls, geo/political disruption, sanctions/forced‑labor hits, late deliveries, quality escapes

• AI risk scoring with rationale and recommended mitigations

• Evidence packs aligned to NIST SP 800‑161, ISO/IEC 27036, and IEC 62443

• QMS SCAR/CAPA integration and audit‑ready traceability

• Spreadsheet Synergy for rapid onboarding and governance

AI supplier risk scoring

Turn fragmented indicators into a single, defensible score your teams can act on.

• Inputs: certification status and expirations, incident/NC history, corrective actions, delivery/quality performance, geographic/context signals, and material/part mappings.

• Outputs: supplier and site scores, BOM‑level heatmaps, and AI‑generated rationale with recommended mitigations.

• Actions: auto‑create corrective tasks, schedule follow‑ups, and attach evidence—maintaining an auditable trail end‑to‑end.

Site/part/BOM visibility built for factories

• Model multi‑site suppliers and connect each site to the specific parts they produce.

• Trace parts to BOMs and understand downstream impact when a site’s risk changes.

• Run cross‑plant coverage checks to close gaps before they affect production.

Sample “50‑part coverage audit”

A fast diagnostic to prove readiness and expose gaps:

• Scope: randomly sample 50 production‑critical parts across top assemblies.

• For each part, verify: approved supplier(s), producing site, current certifications, last audit date, material origin declaration, UFLPA attestation, and recent NCs/CARs.

• Output: coverage rate by category, missing documentation list, high‑risk outliers, and auto‑generated remediation tasks.

• Typical results: coverage ≥ [92–98]%, [5–12] missing docs, [1–3] high‑risk findings flagged for expedited action.

UFLPA/forced‑labor screening workflows

Operationalize due diligence without slowing builds:

• Collect supplier and sub‑tier attestations alongside material origin declarations.

• Flag parts tied to high‑risk geographies and route to enhanced review.

• Attach corrective actions and require updated evidence before PO release.

• Maintain a continuous audit trail linking attestations, decisions, and part/BOM impact.

Alignment to industry frameworks

Parakeet Risk helps you organize evidence and track control objectives against widely used frameworks. The platform does not provide certification; instead, it maps your controls and artifacts to relevant requirements and maintains an auditable trail.

Mini case: anonymized results

A global discrete manufacturer consolidated third‑party monitoring and material traceability into Parakeet Risk:

• Reduced audit preparation time by [35–50]% through automated evidence packs

• Improved supplier documentation completeness to [97–99.5]% across critical parts

• Shortened issue‑to‑closure cycle time by [20–35]% with AI‑suggested remediations
