Primes¶
- Dependency Distribution Concentration
- In supply chains, supplier concentration risk and single-sourcing trade-offs are the canonical case, with documented incidents in which a single facility or route carried a high share of global production.
This sourceTreats supplier concentration and single-sourcing risk in supply chains, with documented single-facility/single-route chokepoints carrying a high share of global production.

- Exposure Pathway
- And in supply-chain risk an upstream shock travels through buffers and dependencies to the end customer, with redundancy as a link-break technology.
This sourceTreats supply-chain disruption as an upstream shock traveling through buffers and dependencies to the customer, with redundancy and flexibility as link-break technologies.

- Single Point of Failure
- First, a supply chain dependent on a sole supplier of a rare input — say a single refinery producing a specialized chemical, or one port handling a critical fraction of a trade flow.
This sourceTreats sole-source supplier and single-site concentration as supply-chain single points of failure (the Toyota brake-valve and Land Rover chassis cases) and develops the redundancy/flexibility remedies.

- Systemic Risk
- Supply chains (non-obvious): One supplier's disruption ripples through just-in-time dependencies to halt a whole industry; a single semiconductor fab or a single canal blockage can idle factories worldwide because lean, tightly coupled supply networks removed the buffers that once absorbed local shocks.
This sourceAnalyzes how lean, tightly coupled, low-buffer supply chains transmit a single local disruption across the dependency network into industry-wide stoppage, and how redundancy and flexibility restore resilience; supports the just-in-time supply-chain seizure example.
