Abstract

As a result of various crises in recent years, many enterprises currently want to become more resilient. Nevertheless, during the events of the COVID-19 pandemic, its aftermath, and the Ukraine war, it has become evident that existing systems do not suffice to be able to react preventively to incoming issues or arising weaknesses. However, existing solutions for increasing resilience do not consider the complex context and interrelationships between procurement, production and delivery sufficiently. Instead of the current concept of a centralized supply chain risk management, a constellation of coordinated functions, each acting at the required time, is needed. To close this gap, this paper proposes a function-based approach. First, the effects of crises on the supply chain and the corresponding requirements for resilient manufacturing systems are presented. This is followed by a characterization of the different possible scenarios. Subsequently, the supply chain functions necessary to manage such scenarios are described. Lastly, the approach is complemented by examples to explain the functions further.
