Abstract: Reliable supply chain network is crucial for sustainable cruise supply chains. To cope with increasing disruptions caused by human errors and natural disasters, or epidemiological risks, such as norovirus, storm, iceberg, and so on, resilient supply chain network should be considered as an integrated perspective into the cruise ship supply system planning process. This paper studies the emergency replacement strategy after the interruption of nodes from an elastic perspective. A mixed integer programming model of emergency scheduling strategy is established to meet the needs of cruise ships and maintain the normal operation of the cruise supply chain. Then, CPLEX software is used to solve the model with the lowest total cost under the elastic constraints. Finally, a numerical simulation is given to show the proposed method is effective and practical. Quantitative analysis can assist cruise managers in decision making regarding disrupt supply chain network and making a trade-off between desired resilience and constraints.
