SUMMARY

This lesson introduces the fundamental concepts of supply chain resilience and reconfigurability in the context of modern manufacturing. Learners will explore risk types, resilience capabilities, and the role of digital tools such as Supply Chain Digital Twins in enhancing visibility, adaptability, and continuity. The lesson also covers practical methods for risk identification, stress-testing, and validation of resilience strategies.
