Problems of Logistic Systems Vulnerability and Resilience Assessment
The aim of this chapter is to present and investigate the main concepts of supply chain vulnerability and resilience. Thus, the fundamental differences between vulnerability and resilience definitions are discussed. General aspects of supply chain vulnerability understanding are presented and some problems with vulnerability assessment are underlined. The main issues on vulnerability and resilience assessment are discussed, and the case study of production system resilience estimation is investigated.
ABSTRACT With the implementation of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 came the requirement for vessels to develop plans for responding to oil spills from their vessels. While some companies had such plans in the past, the National Response System did not formally recognize their existence. Individual vessel response plans must now be viewed as an integral part of the National Response System. All of the parties that could be involved in an oil spill response must begin to view themselves as one tile of many that make up the mosaic known as the National Response System.
