Abstract:
This paper presents a novel clustering approach to modeling interdependencies between critical infrastructures (CIs) and key resource supply chains. The approach is based on Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) theory and the assessment of the impact of service disruption between infrastructures and relative supply chains. The authors discuss a pilot case study concerning the impact of infrastructure disruptions for different temporal frames (i.e. after one day, four days and three weeks) on the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) supply chain. The study has been conducted affording a qualitative and cognitive approach based on expert elicitation. The paper concludes with a discussion of findings and current train of thought for future improvements of clustering approach.
