Substitution (Supply risk)

Definition: In the revised methodology for criticality assessment, the availability of substitutes is considered as a reducing element in both the economic importance (SI-EI) and the supply risk (SI-SR) dimensions. The assessment only takes into account the proven substitutes that are readily available today and able to reduce the consequences of a disruption and/or influence the risk of a disruption.
