Abstract
An effective way to deal with high-risk and low-probability disruptions is to create a resilient cluster supply chain, in which the study of resilience lies in its recovery mechanism when failures occur. First, the paper describes the representation method of cluster supply chain resilience. Second, a cluster supply chain network structure generation model is proposed. And based on cascading effect model, it makes analysis of dynamic evolution process when cluster supply chain failure happens. Then it focuses on the self-organization characteristic, which contributes to cluster supply chain emergence overall resilient recovery through local self-organization reconstruction behavior. We also make theoretical analysis of cluster supply chain network characteristics and its effect on the resilience, which helps to illustrate that the root of vulnerability lies in cascading failure while self-organization is the key to resilient recovery. Besides, with the study of self-organization characteristic, it provides theoretical guidance for local control and further achievement of overall resilient optimization.
Highlights
With economic globalization, customer needs become more diverse and personalized, and economic operation is facing more challenges and uncertainties, all of which make it a difficult problem for the enterprises to operate
Cluster supply chain risks can be divided into two categories
Cluster supply chain resilience is defined as follows: cluster supply chain network suffers from cascading failure when dealing with undesirable disruption, but it can conduct self-repair through adaptability and make it fast recover to a new stable state
Summary
Customer needs become more diverse and personalized, and economic operation is facing more challenges and uncertainties, all of which make it a difficult problem for the enterprises to operate. The occurrence of cascading effect is mainly due to the failure of some critical nodes, which brings about serious losses to the cluster supply chain structure or even cripples the whole network operation. At this point, as a complex adaptive system, the resilient cluster supply chain can make quick adjustments and respond to the existing resources according to the current logical constraint conditions of the remaining nodes, which is in accordance with the given principle of self-organization repair, and both new generated nodes and remaining nodes reconstruct logical relationship between each other. Conclusions and possible future research extensions comprise Section 7
