What is it about?
Natural disasters, man-made disasters, political crises, financial crises, strikes, legal contract disputes are some examples of events leading to big disruptions in logistics systems and supply networks. We analyse the phenomenon of propagation of such disruptions which is called ripple effect. We present a survey of existing approaches and techniques to reduce ripple effect and its negative impact.

Why is it important?
Ripple effect change supply networks structural dynamics, impact operations execution and affect sales, service level and costs. The cost for entreprises is too big. Thus, it is neccessary to know how to reduce the costs and increase the service level in spite of disruptions.
Perspectives
We work on new and more efficient methods to reduce ripple effect and so to reduce the cost and to increase service level in supply networks under large disruptions.
