Supply chain intelligence for automotive Tier 1 suppliers — built by practitioners, for the people who get the call when the line stops.
Ford, GM, Stellantis, and Toyota NA are requiring Tier 1 suppliers to map and demonstrate visibility into their Tier 2 and Tier 3 supply base. The question coming next is not "can you show us the map?" — it's "what happens to our production line if any node on that map fails?" FOR-C answers that question.
Most tools tell you a risk exists. FOR-C tells you what it does to your production line — and what to do about it.
Model any disruption against your real network before it happens. Taiwan blockade. Japan earthquake. Sole-source failure. Know the impact in minutes, not weeks.
Ford, GM, and Toyota are requiring Tier N supply chain visibility. FOR-C gives you simulation data — not assumptions — to back up your contingency plan.
When leadership asks "what happens if X fails" you have an answer. KPI scorecard, blast radius, countermeasures, and a board-ready PDF in one click.
Before you can simulate a disruption, you need to know one is building. FOR-C tracks government and market data across the commodities that actually break automotive lines — semiconductors, battery materials, rare earth metals, steel, resins, and rubber.
Any disruption. Any network. Any duration. FOR-C simulates the downstream impact so you can act before the line stops.
Model semiconductor fab shutdowns across your ECU and sensor supply base. Know your survival buffer and worst-case service floor before your OEM audit.
One supplier goes bankrupt or loses certification. FOR-C shows you the cascade — which plants go down, in what order, and how long you have to act.
Generate simulation-backed contingency documentation for Ford Q1, GM BIQS, and Toyota NAPCP supplier assessments in hours, not weeks.
FOR-C builds your supplier network — down to Tier 3 — from your own BOM and location data, then colors every node by the risk your latest simulation actually found. When one node goes down, you see exactly where it spreads and how long you have before it reaches the OEM.
Running the scenario is the middle of the job. FOR-C also covers what comes before it and what you do after.
Type a disruption in plain language — "Taiwan chip fab goes down for 6 weeks starting mid-October" — and get back a structured scenario (facility, severity, start date, duration) ready to run.
Feed in your lanes, inventory, demand variability, and cost structure. Get back a recommended safety stock level, a cost-vs-service-level tradeoff curve, and a breakdown of cycle stock versus real safety margin — not a rule of thumb.
A branded, multi-page PDF with your Business Balance Index score, KPI scorecard, disruption signals, and countermeasure rankings — built for the meeting where someone above you asks "what happens if X fails."
"105 days of a green dashboard — then the line misses at 42% service in a single week."
Live simulation — 11-facility automotive electronics network, 90-day Taiwan disruption scenario
Locations, lanes, BOM, processes, demand — your actual supply chain data. CSV upload, no integration required.
Any facility, any severity, any duration. Taiwan blockade, Japan earthquake, supplier bankruptcy — you set the scenario.
MRP-driven engine models every node, every day, every SKU across your full Tier N network. Results in minutes.
7-metric KPI scorecard, cascade blast radius, countermeasure rankings, and one-click executive PDF ready for your OEM.
Short, dated notes tied to what the feeds are actually showing — not general commentary. Free to read, no login.
