Global operational excellence and insight-driven supply chain transformation
For all the talk of digital giants and online business, for organisations still reliant on creating and moving goods in the physical world, optimisation of the supply chain remains critical to business performance.
Supply chain costs can represent 70% or more of an organisation’s cost base. For global supply chains – split across multiple internal and external parties and across multiple systems – it is all too easy for waste, inefficiency and risk to creep in without management realising – with higher costs and poor business performance the result.
A 2.5% improvement in supply chain efficiency can translate to a 5% profit increase.
The supply chain and third party suppliers also increasingly represent risk to organisations. A supply chain failure can be make or break for your business – whether protecting against operational failure or cyber attack, risk management in the supply chain is now also critical to protecting the bottom line.

Digital transformation – supply chain and mobile workforce technology
Protecting the supply chain – third party assurance and operational technology
Many organisations have spent a number of years implementing internal controls to manage cyber risk. What is becoming increasingly clear is that this not sufficient to fully protect your organisation; the cyber security risk in your supply chain can be just as critical. We have a scalable, automated service to deliver supply chain cyber assurance at scale.
As supply chains become increasingly automated and integrated with complex manufacturing processes, operational technology security also becomes an important part of risk management. BAE Systems has a dedicated team and an Operational Technology security diagnostics approach to support clients in this specialist area of security.
