Systems and methods for managing procurement risk are described. In
accordance with a procurement risk management method, a resource sourcing
mix is computed from a sourcing portfolio of one or more forward
contracts, spot market purchases, and inventory depletion for each period
of a planning horizon based on forecast scenarios for resource demand,
resource price, and resource availability and a specified inventory
carrying policy for the resource. Based upon the computed resource
sourcing mix, one or more metrics for evaluating the sourcing portfolio
are computed. A system and a computer program implementing the
above-described procurement risk management method also are described.
