Agent-based simulation for improving resilience of
supply chains. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Dec 2008, Pages: 456
The complexity and the extended reach of today’s
supply chain networks expose businesses to a huge
range of unexpected disruptions. This calls for
building resilience in supply chains, which is not
just recovery from the mishaps, but is a proactive,
structured and integrated exploration of
capabilities within the supply chain to resist and
win against unforeseen happenings. Literature on
supply chain and organisational resilience are
informative in identifying resilience enhancing
strategies and capabilities, but a detailed dynamic
analysis of behaviour of the supply chain to
understand the suitability of different resilience
capabilities over time and under different scenarios
is not carried out. The book addresses this gap by
studying the impact of adopting several resilience
improvement strategies and different behavioural
rules by different agents on supply chain
performance over time. An important contribution of
this book is to produce a framework to test the
appropriateness of different resilience enhancement
procedures.
