Abstract: Contemporary supply chains have gained in performance what they may sometimes lose in their ability to act in the face of disruptions. Drawing on examples of geocrises affecting logistical infrastructure and flows, this research note examines the paradoxical effects of scale, concentration, and interdependence. By mobilizing the concepts of reliance, deliance, and vulnerability, it proposes complementing established approaches to efficiency, resilience, and business continuity with survivability as a metaphor. Survivability refers to a supply chain's ability to preserve its essential functions when some of its resources, infrastructure, or relationships become unavailable. Four dimensions of this capacity are identified: preserving what is essential, maintaining alternatives, being able to mobilize them, and learning from crises. In this respect, the survivability metaphor opens an important managerial perspective centered on preserving the ability to act under constraints.
