This thesis analyzes the crisis of the linear logistics model, based on asymptotic efficiency and pure Just-in-Time, which became evident during recent global shocks and the severe semiconductor shortage. The objective is to define the transition to the new paradigm of Industrial Resilience, understood as a network's dynamic ability to anticipate, absorb, and rapidly recover its performance after a disruptive event. Through a comparative analysis of the strategies adopted by four market leaders (Toyota, Tesla, ASML, and Renault), the study maps four operational emergency response archetypes. The results demonstrate that business continuity is never achieved at zero cost, but requires the management of specific trade-offs. Surviving a shock requires the strategic acceptance of local inefficiencies — such as inventory accumulation, technical debt assumption, or the complexity of a circular supply chain — in order to preserve overall throughput. This outlines a new convergence where Resilience, Adaptive Quality, and Sustainability become the new engineering standard.
Il presente lavoro di tesi analizza la crisi del modello logistico lineare, basato sull'efficienza asintotica e sul puro Just-in-Time, evidenziatasi durante i recenti shock globali e la grave carenza di semiconduttori. L'obiettivo è definire il passaggio al nuovo paradigma della Resilienza Industriale, intesa come la capacità dinamica di un network di anticipare, assorbire e recuperare rapidamente le proprie performance dopo un evento dirompente. Attraverso l'analisi comparata delle strategie adottate da quattro leader di mercato (Toyota, Tesla, ASML e Renault), lo studio mappa altrettanti archetipi operativi di risposta all'emergenza. I risultati dimostrano che la continuità aziendale non si ottiene mai a costo zero, ma richiede la gestione di precisi trade-off. Sopravvivere allo shock impone infatti l'accettazione strategica di inefficienze locali, come l'accumulo di scorte, l'assunzione di debito tecnico o la complessità di una filiera circolare, al fine di preservare il throughput globale. Si delinea così una nuova convergenza in cui Resilienza, Qualità Adattiva e Sostenibilità diventano il nuovo standard ingegneristico.

Abstract
This thesis analyzes the crisis of the linear logistics model, based on asymptotic efficiency and pure Just-in-Time, which became evident during recent global shocks and the severe semiconductor shortage. The objective is to define the transition to the new paradigm of Industrial Resilience, understood as a network's dynamic ability to anticipate, absorb, and rapidly recover its performance after a disruptive event. Through a comparative analysis of the strategies adopted by four market leaders (Toyota, Tesla, ASML, and Renault), the study maps four operational emergency response archetypes. The results demonstrate that business continuity is never achieved at zero cost, but requires the management of specific trade-offs. Surviving a shock requires the strategic acceptance of local inefficiencies — such as inventory accumulation, technical debt assumption, or the complexity of a circular supply chain — in order to preserve overall throughput. This outlines a new convergence where Resilience, Adaptive Quality, and Sustainability become the new engineering standard.I documenti in UNITESI sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
