本指南中定义的供应链风险管理（SCRM）可主动应用于所有采购产品和服务的保护；无论是飞行还是非飞行，都会贯穿供应链的各个层面。该指南将质量作为关键风险评估因素，并考虑到与全球质量管理有直接联系的业务各方面的因素。这个概念/模型如图1所示。虽然传统的“小q”质量是需要评估的关键因素，但从公司业务的角度来看，其他因素在最小化风险方面发挥着重要作用。 本指南定义了此类风险因素以供考虑。SCRM作为一种业务保护工具，在与新供应商和现有供应商开展新业务时，用于识别并降低风险最为有效。然而，下文描述的工具和技术也可用于评估现有的供应链网络，并确定所需的控制水平。SCRM可通过将与采购产品或服务以及供应商自身相关的已识别风险因素与供应商整体质量风险管理目标相结合的方式应用（见第6节）。建议将本指南级联至子系统- 供应链中的二级供应商。

Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM), defined in this guideline, can be applied proactively for the protection of all procured products and services; both flying and non-flying through all levels of the supply chain. The guideline focuses on Quality as a key risk assessment factor taking into account elements from all aspects of the business having a direct link to global quality management. This concept/model is shown in Figure 1. While traditional "small q " Quality is a key element to be assessed, from a company business point of view, other elements play an important part in minimizing risk. This guideline defines such risk factors for consideration. SCRM as a business protection tool will be most effective when used to identify, and reduce risks when generating new business with new and existing suppliers. However, the tools and techniques described hereafter can also be applied to evaluate the existing supply chain network and determine the level of control required. The SCRM can be applied by merging identified risk factors associated with procured products or services and the supplier itself with the target for overall supplier quality risk management (see Section 6). This guideline is recommended to be cascaded to sub-tier suppliers in the supply chain.
