The Problem

The collapse of supply chains has now reached global proportions. The PAIRS (Privacy-Aware, intelligent and Resilient Crisis Management) research project aims to create transparency and to be able to introduce preventive measures for risk minimization. Behind a final supply chain are numerous other supply chains. If just one of these chains collapses, the entire process comes to a standstill. The resulting sensitivity extends from raw material extraction to material procurement and includes all logistical imponderables (closure of ports, lack of transport options due to staff shortages, etc.).
