Abstract
Reliability, risk control and more recently resilience enhancement are generally agreed to be of major interest for designing and improving technical and socio technical systems. However, for resilience enhancement of technical systems, the question arises how to achieve this aim in a systematic way. The present approach addresses the control of potentially disruptive events for an indoor logistics ultrasonic system, which can be used for locating goods or robots within storage or production halls. It is shown how to address in a systematic analytical process potentially disruptive events and how to generate scenarios for further detailed resilience analyses and evaluation. The scenarios are designed and assessed in such a way that technical requirements for increasing the resilience of the system can be derived. The paper describes the process in 8 steps: (1) system and context definition, (2) identification of system performance functions and related quantities, especially in undisturbed operation mode, (3) identification of potentially disruptive events and threats, (4) identification of critical combinations of disruptions and performance functions, e.g. using a resilience criticality matrix of combinations of performance functions and disruptions, (5) definitions of scenarios for detailed resilience assessment, (6) resilience assessment and analysis, (7) resilience evaluation, and (8) selection and implementation of design improvements. In addition, the paper exemplarily shows how such a resilience cycle informed process can be implemented and tailored for the indoor logistic example.
