Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed is an apparatus that includes an identifying module, a survey module, an analytics module, and a ranking module. The identifying module identifies selected users, wherein the selected users are those users that have an awareness of factors that potentially affect a supply chain. The survey module administers a supply chain screening survey, which includes groups of intercorrelated questions, to the selected users and receives survey answers from the selected users. The analytics module performs a modified Cronbach-alpha analysis on the survey answers from the selected users in order to generate a response consistency rating for each of the selected users. The modified Cronbach-alpha analysis includes determining, for each one of the selected users, consistency between selected users of the survey answers within each group of intercorrelated questions. The ranking module assigns a reliability rank to each of the selected users based on their response consistency rating.
