Abstract:
The design and planning of resilient supply chains is a major challenge due to the increasing complexity of these systems that operate in a global market and therefore are more exposed to disruptions. Present work aims to apply principle of resiliency in a supply chain by simulation. A case study of Shahab Company is used to illustrate the effect of redundancy and agility on its resiliency. We simulate the relationships of Shahab Company with its suppliers, and the suppliers with their sources and investigate the effects of disruptions in the model. Shahab Company has two main supplier and they own sources. To evaluate the designed model, two performance measures were defined, inventory and total cost. Based on the assessment of the results, agility and redundancy help supply chain to be more resilient, even though they increase the total cost. According to the costs of the company, this increase of total cost is acceptable. So we make the company more resilient to disruptions by this approach
