What is the definition of resilience of a SC?

The ability of a system to have no disruptions

The stability of a system

The ability of a system to return to its original state or move to a new, more desirable state after being disturbed

the measure of a system’s, or part of a system’s capacity to elude from the occurrence of a hazardous event

Neither answer is correct

What are the events that can cause consequences to a SC?

Every event from the smallest

Only the big one can cause consequences

Only very specific cases can have an impact

only events of a certain importance onwards can cause disruption

Neither answer is correct

What is the RT for?

The RT helps to solve the problem on the system performance

The RT helps to visualize problem on the system performance

The RT helps to collect information on the system performance

The RT helps to visualize the magnitude of the disorder and the negative impact on system performance

Neither answer is correct

What is the initial impact on the performance profile?

is the initial response to the event, where a temporary solution to the problem is preferred

is the first time that the effect of disruption on company performance can have two natures

is the activities of companies with goal of preventing a given disorder

is the moment in which the disruptive event takes place

Neither answer is correct

What are the stages of the performance profile that are integrated into the RT?

Preparation – Disruptive event – First response – Initial impact – Time of full impact – Preparation for recovery – Recovery – Long term impact

First response – Initial impact – Time of full impact

Preparation – Disruptive event – Initial impact – Preparation for recovery – Recovery – Long term impact

Preparation – First response – Preparation for recovery – Recovery – Long term impact

Neither answer is correct

What is the second sector of the resilience triangle?

Long-term impact

Mitigation

Time

Preparation – First response – Preparation for recovery – Recovery – Long term impact

Recovery

What are three strategies to follow to prepare for future disruptions? (tick the three correct answers)

Plan for every part

Diversify the supply chain

Estimate realistic final customer demand

Strengthen supplier relationships

Determine inventory availability

How to diversify the SC?

Have different type of products or services

Develop a mix of clients of different sizes and in different geographical regions

Develop a mix of suppliers of different sizes and in different geographical regions

Develop a mix of suppliers of different sizes

Neither answer is correct

What is one of the phases of the mitigation sector?

Create transparency

Estimate realistic final customer demand

Improve capacity for production and distribution

Stress test and free up capital

Neither answer is correct

What is the ripple effect?

It’s a downstream propagation of the disruption on a SC

It is a measure of the efficiency of the SC

It’s an upstream propagation of the disruption on a SC

It is a measure of the inefficiency of the SC

Neither answer is correct

What is the main cause of ripple effect?

The increasing SC simplicity

The increasing SC complexity.

The increasing SC efficiency.

The increasing SC independence.

Neither answer is correct.

What are the countermeasures to the ripple effect?

Ripple effect control in the supply chain requires two main capacities: diversification and efficiency

Ripple effect control in the supply chain requires two main capacities: diversification and recovery

Ripple effect control in the supply chain requires two main capacities: resistance and efficiency

Ripple effect control in the supply chain requires two main capacities: resistance and recovery

Neither answer is correct

In the case study of distribution centre which network structure is more vulnerable?

2-3-3

1-6-6

0-0-0

1-3-3

2-6-6

How does increasing entropy affect the vulnerability of the network structure?

With increasing entropy comes an increase in vulnerability up to a certain point and then reverse the trend

With increasing entropy comes an increase in vulnerability

There is no change as entropy increases

There is a change as entropy increases but not in the vulnerability of the network structure

With increasing entropy comes an increase in robustness

What is the first step in the microgrid case study?

Model supply chain network

Determine total assessment period

Assign mission impact

Develop risk treatment strategies

Identify Critical Loads

What are the solutions to develop risk treatment strategies?

One possible solution is to incorporate other forms of distributed energy resources

One possible solution is to incorporate other forms of distributed energy resources and reduce overall dependency on EDGs

One possible solution is to split other forms of distributed energy resources

One possible solution is to split other forms of distributed energy resources and reduce overall dependency on EDGs

Neither answer is correct

What tool was used to perform the analysis in the microchip shortage business scenario?

It’s been used a supply chain digital twin

It’s been used a physical scale model of the supply chain

It’s been used a similar supply chain

It’s been used a digital scale model of the supply chain

Neither answer is correct

What are the upsides of Industry 4.0?

The ability of intuition and creative problem solving

The ability to adapt and reconfigure supply chains in order to deal with unexpected events or disruptions

The decrease in the number of disruptions

The ability to adapt and reconfigure supply chains in order to deal with expected events or disruptions

Neither answer is correct

How to develop a SCR roadmap?

Each SC needs a creative process to develop roadmaps

There is no need to develop roadmaps

All the SC needs the same creative and customised process to develop roadmaps

Each SC needs a creative and customised process to develop roadmaps

Neither answer is correct
