- Require the supplier to provide a broader performance warranty.Broader assurance may add evidence, but cannot replace company-specific assessment and management of dispatch consequences.
- Confirm the supplier’s contractual indemnity remains effective.Indemnity allocates financial risk, but does not establish that the company has assessed or managed its operational deployment risks.
- Transfer operational acceptance decisions to the supplier’s quality team.Supplier input may assist, but outsourcing acceptance would not remove the company’s responsibility for its own changed deployment.
- Retain accountability for assessing and managing the deployment. ✓Changing to operational dispatch requires the company to evaluate context, controls, residual risks, and deployment decisions despite contractual allocation.
The trap
A contract may allocate costs or tasks; it does not automatically transfer accountability for the organization’s own operational decision. How to remember it
