Implementation of commodity risk management function

Commodity price risk management is very often overlooked within the risk management practices of companies. No one really feels in charge for it as this responsibility typically spans across various departments:

• it originates in Procurement either with direct or indirect raw materials purchases;
• it finally ends within sales of finished products where it is usually rather difficult to assess the extent to which commodity price changes are passed-on to final customers;
• and in between it went through R&D, storage, production and shipping where it got even more complex and where time lags and pricing formulas start to mix and accumulate.
