Abstract: The paper aims at presenting a study into strategies of strengthening the resilience in a network supply chain of metallurgic products. The first stage of the research aimed at indicating possible variants of the strategy of building the resilience of a network supply chain. At the second stage the authors carried out simulation experiments based on three models built in the management system dynamics technique (VensimDSS). The authors proposed and defined the notion of zones of strengthening disruptions. The zones are formed from sets of factors strengthening disruptions with similar influence on disruptions. In simulation experiments, the authors strived to reduce lost sales resulting from deviations in punctuality and completeness. The proposed approach of gathering knowledge which will allow modelling material flows and constructing the strategy of strengthening the resilience of a network supply chain was verified in a selected organisation fulfilling the assumptions of the material decoupling point of a network supply chain of metallurgic products.
