“…In practice, success and failure originate from the same causative mechanism and this exacerbates the unpredictability of behaviors as well as the inapplicability of strictly finalistic methodologies. Taxonomies of causes and events also lose much of the importance given to them by Safety-I methods, since resilience engineering assumes that not only will there always be unknown and unknowable events [91], but above all that a cataloging of the known events is fundamentally meaningless since the same events can produce normal performances (successes) or failures [92]. Resilience engineering, as a discipline, aims to manage the risk of systems that can never be fully described and, indeed, tend to be underspecified.…”

Background: Endogenous and exogenous factors impact the operational characteristics of supply chains, affecting wholesale warehouses. The survival of a warehouse is often threatened by disruptive events that alter infrastructure and performance. The emergence of COVID-19 exemplified the need for adaptability in retail goods supply chains, emphasizing the necessity for responding to external shocks. Methods: The MARLIN (Method wArehouse ResiLience dIstruptioN) method, founded on theories and models of resilience engineering is introduced. MARLIN is a practical tool designed to identify key areas requiring intervention in response to disruptive events. An empirical test was conducted in an Italian warehouse. Results: The conducted test yielded tangible results, demonstrating the efficacy of the method. It successfully pinpointed areas necessitating intervention and identified Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) associated with disruptions. The study not only underscores the importance of data collection but also highlights the often-overlooked significance of warehouse management. Conclusions: The study establishes MARLIN as a valuable asset for stakeholders involved in disruption management. Its application has proven instrumental in recognizing areas of intervention and identifying KPIs related to disruptions. Ongoing research endeavors to broaden its applicability across diverse supply chain scenarios, aiming to enhance situational awareness and enable proactive risk assessment through what-if analysis.
