Abstract

Logistics chains are mostly influenced by changes in their business environment. A system’s adaptability is seen as one potential to effectively counteract these environmental changes. To consider the effects of adaptability on the whole supply chain, a framework for configuring adaptable logistics chain was developed within the research project “KoWaLo”. This paper deduces an approach how to identify adaptable logistics configurations. Furthermore a case study shows the potential of the configuration model.
