Supply chain riskWire & Cable

Wire & Cable supply chain risk

Wire & Cable carries a process risk of 64.3 out of 100 — the elevated band, and rank 12 of 33 sectors in the Tieron reference catalog. That figure is independent of location: it is what the work itself carries. Where you buy then moves the baseline from 37.8 in Denmark to 72.1 in Russia. Every figure below shows its weight and its source.

What this page cannot tell you

Country and sector are 50% of Tieron’s risk axis by weight — the half that is knowable from public data alone. The rest is supplier-specific: conflict minerals exposure (weight 0.10), incident history (0.10) and information opacity (0.10). Two wire & cable suppliers in the same country start from the number above and end up far apart. Impact — spend, substitution difficulty, continuity criticality — needs your own ledger.

A short note when the lists change in ways that matter for supply-chain screening. No noise.
Method: baseline risk is the weighted mean of country composite risk (weight 0.15) and sector risk (weight 0.15), using the same weights and the same weighted-mean form as the Tieron scoring engine restricted to those two factors. It is deterministic: the same inputs always produce the same number.
