Abstract
Today’s supply chain managers are more and more confronted with challenges and risks arising from their indirect lower-tier suppliers. In this chapter, an overview over the status quo of sub-supplier management is given. A step-by-step analysis of current and future issues is introduced and used to evaluate the challenges and risks of a European airplane manufacturer’s supply chains. Furthermore, a multistep analysis for the description of supply chain objectives impacted by sub-suppliers is explained and executed on the example of a sub-supplier project initiative of a Swiss-based watch manufacturer.
