Supply Chain Risk Management, Resilience and Security

SOPHIE – resilience of supply chains to cascading effects from digital space.
The SOPHIE project aims to enhance the resilience of supply chain ICT infrastructures by increasing awareness of cybersecurity issues as well as reducing the frequency and severity of successful cyber-attacks. The reliability of these infrastructures increases the reliability of planning for production and supply chains, benefiting both customers and suppliers.

The aim of the CySeReS SME research project is to support small and medium-sized enterprises in IT security, cyber security and resilience with a focus on the supply chain. The needs of the participating SMEs will be surveyed and analysed, on the basis of which a best practice guide and a maturity model will be developed. In the future, this will also be able to support SMEs outside the project.

The DataSChare project aims to identify and concretise industrial supply chain data spaces to increase knowledge about data spaces in the supply chain. This will be achieved through a multi-level methodological approach based on qualitative (workshops, interviews, stakeholder analysis) as well as quantitative (online surveys) methods.

Closely coordinated and optimised processes make the transport and logistics sector highly susceptible to disruptions of any kind, whether short-term or long-term. Data in particular can help companies to react to these and thus be considered resilient. A solution for this is offered by a concept developed in the project of a "logistics and resilience data circle" for external data exchange.

The aim of the SSCCS project is to ensure the resilience of supply chains to cyber attacks. This is done in a structured, interdisciplinary approach based on real use cases and takes into account both highly integrated SCs and such low organizational levels.

In SYRI we develop a data-driven simulation methodology to locally quantify actual food supply losses for the population that result from the cascading of supply disruptions. The methodology is immediately policy relevant as a fact-driven and generalizable crisis management tool.

RESISTANT – more resilient military logistics on the basis of an end-to-end digitized, dislocated and autonomous supply chain
The aim of this project is to increase the resilience of the military supply chain by developing a novel, internationally compatible logistics concept in conjunction with innovative technologies.
