Resilient Supply Chain Design Using Digital Twins and Real-Time Data: Examining ROI and Decision Speed Improvements

Abstract

In an era marked by global disruptions, geopolitical instability, and rapidly changing consumer demands, the resilience of supply chains has emerged as a critical determinant of organizational success. The COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, and supply shocks have exposed vulnerabilities in traditional supply chain models, underscoring the urgent need for adaptive, robust, and agile systems. Digital transformation, particularly through the adoption of digital twins and the integration of real-time data, promises to revolutionize supply chain design and management, enhancing both return on investment (ROI) and decision speed.
