This n8n workflow is designed to automate the ongoing monitoring and assessment of supplier risks within a supply chain. Triggered daily at 6 AM, it gathers comprehensive data on active suppliers including financial health, recent news, and performance metrics. The workflow then calculates a dynamic risk score for each supplier based on multiple factors such as creditworthiness, operational performance, news sentiment, geopolitical stability, and criticality level.

The risk evaluation process involves a detailed scoring algorithm that assigns levels of risk (low, medium, high, critical) and recommends appropriate actions—from routine surveillance to emergency protocols. Critical risks trigger an immediate email alert to the risk management team with detailed insights, while high and medium risks generate informative notifications with tailored recommendations for monitoring and risk mitigation.

Additional features include logging all assessed data into a Google Sheet for record-keeping and trend analysis. This workflow helps organizations proactively identify potential supply chain disruptions, prioritize supplier engagement, and implement risk mitigation strategies efficiently. It is ideal for companies seeking to safeguard their operations through automated, data-driven supplier risk management.
