Protect service without turning resilience into permanent cost
Supply-chain disruption creates a difficult choice. Too little protection leaves revenue, service and customer relationships exposed. Too much inventory, capacity or supplier redundancy ties up cash and embeds cost long after the immediate threat has passed.
Resilience Without Excess draws on a structured analysis of 41 interviews from the Resilient Supply Chain archive. It identifies how leaders can strengthen operational resilience without treating more stock, more suppliers and more capacity as universal answers.

About the research
This executive brief draws on a preregistered, purposive review of the Resilient Supply Chain interview archive. The evidence set comprised 41 interviews and 79 relevant transcript sections, producing 147 validated claims from 38 interviews.
The archive reflects informed practitioner perspectives rather than a representative industry survey. The brief identifies recurring mechanisms, disagreements and decision principles without claiming that they represent the entire supply-chain sector.
