Abstract: As supply chain is becoming more vulnerable to disruptions, how to effectively prevent and respond to risks is a hot topic in supply chain management. In this paper, resilience management approach to supply chain risk control is applied, the practical problem of logistics distribution under the emergency environment is taken as an example and the implementation strategy of integrated resilience and its application effect are also discussed. This paper puts forward the integrated resilience management framework, which covers the early prevention, mid-term mitigation and later recovery. And it sets up resilience management mathematical model of logistics distribution and presents details about the implementation process of resilience strategy. The case study verified the effectiveness. Our method provides effective basis for resilience decision, which improves the real time capability and effectiveness of emergency logistics.

Keywords: resilience management; emergency logistics; SOC; ant colony optimisation.
