Reliable and Resilient Logistic Systems signposts the risks associated with common logistics systems and provides cutting-edge preventive and rapid response strategies to counter them. Today's dynamically changing market conditions create an unstable and unpredictable environment for enterprises to operate in, which is not catered to by traditional approaches to logistics planning and organization. In response, this groundbreaking book explains how to create resilient logistic networks that can adapt quickly to changes in operational conditions, thus leading to more reliable supply.

Adopting a process orientation, the authors consider a range of issues related to continuous improvement and sidestep the organizational boundaries that can stand in the way of process optimization. Their interdisciplinary approach addresses both technical and management aspects of logistics system performance, thus reflecting the complexity of the challenges targeted.
