Grant for project 'Ready for the next Crisis'

Professor Dirk Pieter van Donk and assistant professor Kirstin Scholten, together with Ronald de Boer and former FEB-employee Hendryk Dittfield (both at Windesheim and Involvation), received a 400K grant from TKI Dinalog (the Dutch Institute for Advanced Logistics).
The project 'Ready for the Next Crisis' aims to develop a resilience scan/benchmark that will enable organisations to assess their resilience capabilities. This will be based on an approach that takes a wider range of contextual factors (e.g. production technology, place in the supply chain) into account.
Van Donk: "We will start with a support group of almost 15 established companies among other Scania, Avebe, Royal Friesland Campina who already have committed time to the project. We will begin to collect data through case studies, followed by a targeted data base for benchmarking of around 100 companies."
