The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) unveiled a diagnostic supply chain risk assessment tool, which will “utilize a comprehensive set of indicators to assess structural supply chain risk across the U.S. economy,” the agency said.
The tool, called SCALE, was announced during the DOC’s inaugural Supply Chain Summit and is a part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s ongoing commitment to strengthening supply chains, the agency said in a press release Tuesday.
The tool is a collaboration between the DOC’s Supply Chain Center and Industry and Analysis (I&A) business unit, which “enable the U.S. government to be more proactive and strategic in addressing supply chain risk,” the agency said.
