Event-based Approach for Supply Chain Fault Analysis

This work is a contribution to fault propagation analysis in a supply chain network. An event-based fault detection method is applied to fault propagation analysis validation. The goal of this methodology is to discover and validate fault propagation effects on system variables. This knowledge could be used to improve corrective action design in order to compensate negative effects. The methodology has been applied to supply chain fault propagation analysis over inventory data. Once validated, fault propagation effects on inventory level could be compensated by adapting the inventory control policy. Thus, unnecessary inventory holding could be reduced.
