How contingency planning prepares for disruptions

Plans for handling unexpected or unforeseen situations, such as weather events, labor strikes, traffic, or service outages, are proactive alternatives or contingency plans for logistics. For instance, if a customer is worried about what might happen if a serious disruption affects their external distributor network and renders it incapable of functioning, they can consider contingency planning with regard to various distribution models and produce alternative models and cost implications in terms of identified parameters.
