Critical dependency mapping in 50 retail and logistics organizations across 5 LATAM countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru) revealed that 64% of operational disruption incidents causing outages exceeding 8 hours in the last 24 months originated from suppliers classified as 'Tier 2' or 'Non-Essential' in the Business Impact Analysis (BIA). The predominant root cause (71%) is lack of visibility into the extended supply chain: organizations monitor their critical direct suppliers but are unaware of their dependency on third parties (subcontractors) that turn out to be single points of failure. 89% of audited organizations did not include auditable business continuity clauses in contracts with non-strategic suppliers, and only 12% conducted joint continuity exercises with their value chain. An 'Extended BIA' model was developed to identify and weigh continuity risks beyond the immediate organizational perimeter.
Central questions answered with verifiable data from the study.
64% originate from misclassified Tier 2 or 'non-essential' suppliers.
Lack of extended chain visibility (71%) and contracts without auditable clauses (89%).
Only 12% of organizations conduct joint exercises with their value chain.
Steps completed, sources consulted, and evidence collected during the study.
Normative and theoretical framework: ISO 22301:2019 (Business Continuity — clause 8.6); ISO 22318:2021 (Supply chain continuity management); ISO 28000:2022 (Supply chain security); BCI Good Practice Guidelines (GPG).
