The book illustrates how companies can respond to supply chain disruptions with faster response and in shorter lead-time to reduce impact. In reducing total response time, designing solutions, and deploying a recovery plan sooner after a disruption in anticipation of such events, companies reduce impact of disruption risk. The book also explores the basics of multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and how they contribute to both the quality of the financial economic decision-making process and the quality of the resulting decisions. The book illustrates through cases in the construction sector and how this industry has become more complex and riskier due to the diverse nature of activities among global companies"--
