For supply chain and operations leaders
Which component has one qualified source and no second. Which site depends on a single supplier for a third of its inbound. Which supplier's on-time rate has slipped for three months. From the purchase ledger, receipts and the supplier master, supplier IDs only.
Every supply chain has a handful of parts and sites where one supplier is the whole story. Covirage finds them from the receipts, values the exposure, and watches on-time and quality trends so the risk is visible before the line stops.
Parts with one qualified source, or one source in use, ranked by annual value.
Inbound share by supplier per site, with a threshold you set.
On-time and quality by supplier, month on month, from the receipts and returns.
Three steps, in this order.
Goods received by supplier, part and site.
Qualified sources per part. A spreadsheet is fine.
Site leads see their exposure. The VP of supply chain sees the roll-up.
Short answers. The Help centre has the long ones.
Procurement measures contract compliance and spend share. Supply chain measures continuity: sources, concentration and performance.
Any export with supplier, part, site, quantity and date. SAP, Oracle and NetSuite work as they are.
No. It works from your own receipts and complements external risk feeds.

Written for this desk: the measures, the data you already hold, and the arithmetic.
How a supply chain team measures demand forecast accuracy and bias per SKU per site from the forecast snapshots and the actual demand: error and signed bias, the SKU-site pairs that are consistently over-forecast and carry the excess stock, the ones consistently under-forecast and carry the stock-outs, why bias at one site is usually a planner's override, and the adjustment the team's own history supports.

16 Sept 20263 min readHow a supply chain team measures actual lead time and its variability per supplier per site per item from purchase orders and receipts, why the spread drives safety stock more than the mean, the suppliers whose variability rose while their average held, and the inventory that a tighter supplier or a corrected lead time parameter would release.
16 Sept 20263 min readHow a supply chain team turns receipt and purchase order data into an on-time-in-full figure per supplier per site, why the trend matters more than the level, the three-month rule that separates a bad month from a deteriorating supplier, and the watch list that goes to the category manager.
16 Sept 20262 min readHow a supply chain team finds single-source parts, measures inbound concentration by supplier per site and watches supplier performance trends from goods receipts and the supplier master, with the reconciliation to goods received that makes the exposure figure defensible.
16 Sept 20263 min readThe ten questions a COO puts to the supply chain and service functions, which suppliers are deteriorating, where is single-source risk, what is the lead time really, where is inventory ageing, which sites are short and which are long, is the demand plan biased, what are we paying early for nothing, which accounts consume the most service, are we meeting the SLAs we signed, and what changed, each with the computed table, the identity behind it, and the answer a COO should send back.
