Abstract
After years of emphasis on leanness and responsiveness businesses are now experiencing their vulnerability to supply chain disturbances. Although more literature is appearing on this subject, there is a need for a framework to support the analysis and design of robust supply chains. In this paper we present such a framework. We define the concept of robustness, classify sources of (food) supply chain vulnerability, define supply chain disturbances, and classify adequate redesign strategies to achieve robust supply chain performances. We conclude with preliminary findings of a case study in the meat supply chain.
