Future Proof Supply Chain Resilience and Security (FPSCRS)

Collaboration between the University of Sheffield and Rolls-Royce aims to help industry and government track and compare facility-level supply chain resilience.

The FPSCRS project establishes a resilience index scorecard system, hosted via a secure online tool, which provides a quantitative scale of resilience measurement and captures qualitative insights.

The tool, co-developed by Rolls-Royce and researchers from the Management School at the University of Sheffield, enables manufacturing industries such as civil aerospace, automotive, and rail to benchmark their supply chain resilience, manage and respond to risk and security issues.

Created with input from industry leaders, the tool will allow the government and advanced manufacturing industry to measure and reduce uncertainty and risk, minimise vulnerability and threat, and improve supply chain security and resilience.

The policy brief associated with the project aims to bring transformational industry and policy impact economically, environmentally and socially for UK businesses and global supply chains and assist with green economy recovery after COVID-19 disruptions.

Project FPSCRS (Future Proof Supply Chain Resilience and Security) is funded and supported by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and Rolls-Royce.
