Supply Chain Vulnerability Analysis Using Scenario-Based Input-Output Modeling: Application to Port Operations
This article uses port operations as an example for a supply chain vulnerability analysis that uses scenario-based input-output modeling. The authors note that disruptions to the operation of container port activity can be detrimental for international trade and commerce. Risk assessment must include priorities that may change due to uncertain scenarios. The authors introduce new performance metrics to characterize flexibility and resiliency in interdependency modeling. One section describes the approach of input-output modeling and decision analysis to define the most vulnerable sectors across the variety of scenarios. The case example is a U.S. port responsible for handling $36.1 billion of cargo annually. Scenarios considered include a dockworker strike at the port facility, a hurricane, and a terrorist attack. The authors conclude that the methods presented could prove useful to port management, private industry supply chain planning, and transportation infrastructure management.
