Abstract

In the current global economic landscape, companies with an international presence face the challenge of ensuring that their production networks are not only efficient but also resilient to unpredictable events. Recent technological advancements and the close integration of global production networks have been increasingly disrupted. During times of global crises, it becomes evident that traditional approaches are no longer sufficient. Therefore, the focus is shifting from reactive measures to proactive prevention. This paper presents a novel approach for increasing resilience in a production network based on a combination of systematic foresight of unpredictable events using scenario planning and a simulation-based capacity analysis for the identified scenarios. To demonstrate and validate the application of the proposed approach, a case study for the production network of a large German healthcare company is conducted and presented.
