Operational Risk Issues and Time-Critical Decision-Making for Sensitive Logistics Nodes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Decision-Making for Supply Chain Integration

Part of the book series: Decision Engineering ((DECENGIN,volume 1))

Abstract

In this chapter an approach which supports decision-making processes for time-critical situations in supply chain networks after the occurrence of serious disruptions is described. The focus lies on the development of a concept that enables organisations to maintain business, or at least rapidly recover after a disruption, so that the impact is reduced to a minimum. While most strategies and measures regarding supply chain risks are concerned with the prevention and mitigation of risks, the approach presented concentrates on how to handle the impacts of such risks. Therefore, the primary objective is to assure that business can rapidly be resumed after the occurrence of a potential crisis. For this purpose the approach aims to (1) achieve transparency by developing and applying a reference model for sensitive logistics nodes, (2) identify potential risks and (3) support the decision-making process by proposing pre-planned standard measures in the context of time-critical situations. Exemplarily, freight villages representing a specific type of sensitive logistics node, are used as a subject of investigation.
