This book highlights the major features of the ripple effect and introduces methodologies to mitigate its adverse impact on supply chain resilience and to recover from severe disruptions. It brings fresh insights into the fields of supply chain management and engineering, addressing three fundamental questions: In what circumstance does one failure trigger others? Which supply chain structures are especially susceptible to the ripple effect? What are the typical ripple effect scenarios and the most efficient ways to respond to them?
In this new edition, recent advancements are incorporated, particularly in areas such as supply chain viability, digital supply chains, artificial intelligence, and epidemiological models. Furthermore, it introduces new methodologies with a particular emphasis on data-driven and AI-based approaches.
This comprehensive book provides innovative optimization and simulation models to address real-world challenges. With examples from industrial and service sectors, it offers actionable decision-making recommendations for tackling disruption risks in the supply chain proactively and reactively. As such the book is a comprehensive source for diverse readerships.
