Abstract

Identification and evaluation of the frequency and the power of influence as well as effects of disruptions, are essential problems noticed both by practitioners and theoreticians of the management of flows in supply chains. They are a widely discussed problem of the resilience of the supply chain. This paper considers the strategy of strengthening the resilience by production postponement and constructing network relations with subcontractors and participants of distribution channels. The study took into account two locations of the material decoupling point in supply chains of metallurgic products. Due to the aim of the research, attention was focused on the material decoupling point of the supply chain: assembly to order.
