As the economic environment becomes more complex, improving supply chain resilience is critical for the effective operation and long-term sustainability of businesses. Real-world supply chains, which consist of various components such as goods, warehouses, and plants, often feature intricate network structures that pose challenges for resilience analysis. This paper addresses these challenges by proposing a framework for studying supply chains using multi-layer network community detection. The complex multi-mode supply chain network is transformed into single-mode, multi-layer weighted networks. A multi-layer weighted community detection method is proposed for identifying local clusters within these networks, revealing interconnected groups that highlight flexibility and redundancy in production capabilities across different plants and goods. An empirical study utilizing real data demonstrates that this clustering method effectively detects indirect capacity links between plants and goods. The insights derived from this method are useful for strategic capacity management, allowing businesses to respond more effectively to supply shortages and unexpected increases in demand. |
