美姬阁

美姬阁's Resilience Grand Challenge includes a team of multidisciplinary academics who have been actively engaged in research and consultancy activities related to supply chain resilience for a number of years. This project offered an opportunity to bring this team together, building on the 2003 Department for Transport funded guide and thought leadership workbook led by our Emeritus Professor Martin Christopher. The focus of the project was on developing an updated "Guide to Modern Supply Chain Resilience" to develop a research-based, but practitioner focussed guide to the challenges faced by modern supply chains and showcase how 美姬阁-based research can inform and help to manage these challenges through a set of twelve case studies. We propose a novel framework for managing modern, resilient supply chains; encouraging companies to re-shape their supply chain strategy to focus on – resilience, flexibility & robustness and re-assess their supply chain operations to focus on design for robustness. Whilst highlighting the vital roles of technology, innovation, communication & people as underpinning enablers to achieve this.
