Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes receiving information of a logistics network representing a factory and associated suppliers of parts, evaluating a first transit time required to receive parts across the logistics network, for each supplier of the associated suppliers creating a digital copy of the logistics network in which a node connecting the supplier to the factory is removed from the digital copy of the logistics network, evaluating a second transit time required to receive parts, for a supplier of the associated suppliers having an impact metric above a threshold identifying a substitute supplier that ships to the factory in the logistics network, and in an event of failure of a given node in the logistics network, replacing in the logistics network a given supplier that uses the given node to ship to the factory and that has an associated impact metric above the threshold with the substitute supplier.
