Abstract

While disruptions to logistics operations can be an everyday occurrence, the financial and economic impact they have on a business is dependent on the mitigation approach adopted. Experience through our research suggests that mixes of proactive and reactive approaches are taken, but the rationale behind this is ill defined. Through this paper, we intend to draw on these experiences to develop a framework based around the concept of a ‘base’ and ‘surge’ strategy to explore why these decisions are taken, and the impact that these have on economic and environmental costs.
