QED Analytics, Inc. believes that the most technically rigorous and carefully planned programs can be undermined by supply chain failures. The company has helped mitigate this risk for government clients by assisting in detailed industrial base risk analyses.

QED Analytics, Inc.’s data-driven analysis uses existing information sources coupled with targeted data collection to support IB assessments that are predictive rather than reactive.

The QED approach is:
1. Holistic: Assess the breadth and depth of a program supply chain (not just Tier 1). Assess a program’s suppliers in the context of its broader customer base.
2. Multi-faceted: Assess the supply chain to identify supplier and program interdependencies and degree of commonality. Identify potential risks derived from a single point of failure (SPOF), foreign ownership, obsolescence, and capacity constraints.
3. Multidisciplined: Assess industrial base risk based on analysis of supply chain management strategies, company financial and competitive factors, and technology requirements and capabilities.
QED Analytics, Inc. provides its customers with timely, concise, data-rich findings supported by detailed and well-documented analysis. QED Analytics, Inc. identifies not only risks, but their drivers.
