Literature review about supply chain vulnerability and resiliency

This paper focuses on the literature review regarding the vulnerability of supply chains and the relative resiliency. After identifying the most common threats (that can have high or low probability of occurrence) that affect the supply chain integrity, some best practices from real cases are provided in order to provide the key factors to build a resilient supply chain. This research represents the basis for a future work, that will end up with the elaboration of a System Dynamics model that will provide insight regarding the dynamics of short life cycle products, such as fashion goods or electronic devices, with the goal of proposing innovative solutions. Key-Words: vulnerability, resiliency, risk management, supply chain,
