CHALLENGES OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING BASED SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE FOR THE MILITARY LOGISTICS

The research problem addressed in the article focuses on the question: what challenges are important for building the resilience of the additive manufacturing supply chain for military logistics. The aim of the article is to identify these challenges. In order to verify the research problems, the following research methods were used: analysis and critique of literature, document analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization. The article is divided into two main parts, the first theoretical one concerning the essence of building the resilience of supply chains and the second – empirical one covering the analysis of additive manufacturing supply chains for military logistics. The results of the analyses allowed for the formulation of a number of conclusions, constituting the basis for further, extended research on this current and important problem.
