2. Identify all risks including the dependencies on the firm’s supply chain that could
affect or disrupt operations on the supply chain.
3. Provide an assessment of how successful the adoption of the Enterprise Systems
was to reduce friction on the supply chain, i.e. to maintain operational efficiency,
and a discussion of any success metrics that were used.
