Mitigation proposal for the enhancement of enterprise resilience against supply disruptions

Abstract

[EN] The current context is characterised by growing uncertainty, insecurities and risks. To overcome this situation, enterprises need to be resilient enough to guarantee its business continuity. This research is focused on the preparedness capacity, one of the three constituent capacities of enterprise resilience. To be prepared for the unexpected, it is necessary to identify, the most critical disruptive events companies face from a supply side and propose mitigation actions to provide companies with a set of alternatives to support the enhancement of the preparedness capacity of enterprise resilience. This research offers valuable information about both aspects; an analysis of the most worrisome supply disruptive events and a proposal of preventive actions as mitigation policies.
