Abstract

This thesis examines the trade-off relation between flexibility- and redundancy-orientated strategies and their impact on improving supply chain performance under disruptive forces. It does so by evaluating the supply chain practices at the Ministry of Defence in the Netherlands. Seeking to improve performance in terms of cost efficiency, and continuity of supply flow while disruptions affect multiple regions of the supply chain.
