Robust systems can recover after a shock to a previous steady state. Thus, to make organizations robust is a frequent goal of system dynamics projects. However, in recent years, the adequacy of robustness as a design criterion for systems (and, thus, of the models that represent them) has been challenged based on the ideas of antifragility, that is, the ability of a system to recover after a shock and to achieve a higher performance level than before the shock. The purpose of this article is to propose how antifragility can be interpreted and operationalized in managerial settings and to explore what consequences result from its existence for supply chain behaviour and performance. System dynamics modelling and simulation are employed, and the insights of the analyses are used for a critique of the antifragility concept. It is demonstrated that the antifragility concept can lose its unambiguous advantage in highly dynamic situations.

反脆弱性及其在供应链中的后果的管理运作

强大的系统可以在受到冲击后恢复到先前的稳定状态。因此，使组织更强大是系统动力学项目的常见目标。但是，近年来，基于抗脆弱性（即系统在恢复正常运行后的恢复能力）的思想，对鲁棒性作为系统（以及代表它们的模型）的设计标准的充分性提出了挑战。冲击并达到比冲击前更高的性能水平。本文的目的是提出如何在管理环境中解释和实施反脆弱性，并探讨反脆弱性的存在对供应链行为和绩效产生的后果。系统动力学建模和仿真被采用，分析的见解被用于对抗脆弱性概念的批评。
