An integrated concept for robust supply chain and manufacturing system

Every manufacturing company faces numerous disruptions internally and externally within the supply chain, influenced by its location. The pandemic of 2020 intensified research on efficient disruption management. Most approaches focus on either the supply chain or specific manufacturing systems. To enhance manufacturing robustness, this paper proposes an integrated framework for comprehensive decision support, addressing production scheduling, purchasing, and their interaction in a VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) world. This integrated approach helps companies adapt to disruptions, optimizing production and response to demand shifts.
