  1. A digital supply chain twin for managing the disruption risks and resilience in the era of Industry 4.0

    Dmitry Ivanov, Alexandre B. Dolgui · 2020 · Production Planning & Control · 1,805 citations

    We theorize a notion of a digital supply chain (SC) twin – a computerized model that represents network states for any given moment in real time. We explore the conditions surrounding the design and implementation of the digital twins when managing disruption risks in SCs. The combination of model-based and data-driven approaches allows uncovering the interrelations of risk data, disruption modeling, and performance assessment. The SC shocks and adaptations amid the COVID-19 pandemic along with post-pandemic recoveries provide indisputable evidences for the urgent needs of digital twins for mapping supply networks and ensuring visibility. The results of this study contribute to the research

  3. Supply chain resilience for single and multiple sourcing in the presence of disruption risks

    Jafar Namdar, Xueping Li, Rupy Sawhney, et al. · 2017 · International Journal of Production Research · 364 citations

    This paper investigates the use of sourcing strategies to achieve supply chain resilience under disruptions. The coping strategies considered are single and multiple sourcing, backup supplier contracts, spot purchasing, and collaboration and visibility. Collaboration and visibility, which affect suppliers’ recovery capabilities and a buyer’s warning capability, have not been similarly modelled in the past. A scenario-based mathematical model is developed such that it considers objectives under uncertainties including disruption risks and operational risks. A broad numerical study examines its output for various risk attitudes in a decision-maker, ranging from risk neutral to risk averse. The

  4. Low-Certainty-Need (LCN) supply chains: a new perspective in managing disruption risks and resilience

    Dmitry Ivanov, Alexandre B. Dolgui · 2018 · International Journal of Production Research · 360 citations

    This study suggests a new approach to supply chain (SC) disruption risk management where SC behaviour is less dependent on the certainty of our knowledge about the environment and its changes. The unpredictability of the occurrence of disruption and its magnitude suggests that designing SCs with a low need for ‘certainty’ may be as important, if not more so, than predetermined disruption control strategies. In this setting, this study calls for the development of a new perspective in SC disruption management, i.e. low-certainty-need (LCN) SCs. A number of principles and concepts is derived in recent, relevant literature to structure the characteristics of the LCN framework and its management

  9. Fake news, misinformation, disinformation and supply chain risks and disruptions: risk management and resilience using blockchain

    Pythagoras N. Petratos, Alessio Faccia · 2023 · Annals of Operations Research · 78 citations

    Fake news, misinformation and disinformation have significantly increased over the past years, and they have a profound effect on societies and supply chains. This paper examines the relationship of information risks with supply chain disruptions and proposes blockchain applications and strategies to mitigate and manage them. We critically review the literature of SCRM and SCRES and find that information flows and risks are relatively attracting less attention. We contribute by suggesting that information integrates other flows, processes and operations, and it is an overarching theme that is essential in every part of the supply chain. Based on related studies we create a theoretical framew

  18. AI-Driven Predictive Analytics for Supply Chain Resilience, Financial Risk Management, and Digital Marketing Strategy: A Unified Business Intelligence Framework

    Md. Lutfor Rahman, Md. Ishtiaque Alam, Rubaba Anzum, et al. · 2026 · Journal of Business and Management Studies · 9 citations

    The arrival of artificial intelligence and big-data analytics at scale has begun to redraw the strategic map of the modern enterprise. Three areas sit close to the center of that change: how firms manage their supply chains, how they assess financial risk, and how they think about digital marketing. Each has its own substantial literature, yet the three are seldom examined together inside a single, properly governed analytical architecture. This paper sets out to close that gap. We develop and empirically validate a Unified Business Intelligence (UBI) framework that brings machine-learning engines, predictive analytics pipelines, and explainable AI modules into one coherent three-layer desig

  23. Prediction-based decomposition optimisation for multi-portfolio supply chain resilience strategies under disruption risks

    Yi Yang, Chen-Yuan Peng, En-Zhi Cao, et al. · 2024 · International Journal of Production Research · 6 citations

    ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the design of supply chain (SC) risk mitigation and recovery strategies during long-term disruptions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, which affect both suppliers and plants. Consequently, concurrent disruptions in supply and production are observed, which vary in duration and result in time-varying reductions in supply and production capacity. To cope with long-term disruptions, a modified multi-portfolio approach that integrates simulation and predictions is proposed to develop efficient mitigation and recovery plans. This approach involves selecting primary and recovery supply and production portfolios concurrently. To achieve this objective, time-dependent m
