The Workbook is a comprehensive, version-controlled document that evolves throughout the project lifecycle. It is structured to ensure consistency and transparency across every stage of the assessment, incorporating project assumptions, customer-supplied component data, and full revision history.
At its core is the SCRL Assessment itself — a detailed list of identified UK suppliers for each commodity, including a brief description of their capabilities, a link to their webpage, and a clear indication of which components they have been assessed as capable of producing.
Supporting notes and citations provide the evidence base behind every assessment decision, while any assumptions made regarding components, manufacturing processes, or required standards are captured against the specific item and explored in greater depth in the accompanying final report.
The more detailed the customer data provided, the more refined and accurate the supply chain review — making early and thorough engagement a key factor in delivering maximum value.
