Definition & Explanation

Effective supply chain resilience for extreme events goes beyond standard contingency planning – it addresses scenarios where entire transport corridors fail simultaneously, as during a pandemic or a major geopolitical crisis. The core discipline involves mapping critical dependencies across a logistics network to identify the nodes whose failure triggers the broadest cascades. Countermeasures include supplier and route redundancy, pre-tested fallback options, and clearly defined decision-making authority under crisis conditions. The objective is not to prevent every shock but to replace improvisation with coordinated, evidence-based response.
