Reliability of the Supply Chain: Method of Self-Assessment as a First Step to Building Resilient Systems

Abstract

Measure the reliability of a supply chain is an important step to promote the construction of more resilient chains. The resilience is necessary to guaranty the efficient and secure global movement of goods. This paper proposes an instrument to analysis and evaluates the reliability of a system. Also compare scenarios of reliability between a basic supply chains versus complex systems. Finally present useful conclusion to the construction of resilient and robust supply chain.
