A fail-safe supply network is designed to mitigate the impact of
variations and disruptions on people and corporations. This is
achieved by (1) developing a network structure to mitigate the
impact of disruptions that distort the network structure and (2)
planning flow through the network to neutralize the effects of
variations. In this monograph, we propose a framework, develop
mathematical models and provide examples of fail-safe supply
network design. We show that, contrary to current thinking as
embodied in the supply network literature, disruption management
decisions made at the strategic network design level are not
independent from variation management decisions made at the
operational level. Accordingly, we suggest that it is beneficial to
manage disruptions and variations concurrently in supply networks.
This is achieved by architecting fail-safe supply networks, which
are characterized by the following elements: reliability,
robustness, flexibility, structural controllability, and
resilience. Organizations can use the framework presented in this
monograph to manage variations and disruptions. Managers can select
the best operational management strategies for their supply
networks considering variations in supply and demand, and identify
the best network restoration strategies including facility
fortification, backup inventory, flexible production capacity,
flexible inventory, and transportation route reconfiguration. The
framework is generalizable to other complex engineered networks.
