ABSTRACT
In a dynamic environment like a transportation company, accidents are commonplace. For this reason, it is essential to have a qualitative and quantitative model of Resilience to manage possible problems. Therefore, resilience engineering is significant and increasingly used in complex systems. This paper studies Resilience Engineering, its applications, and how it is essential to define and measure a System Management for Resilience. In this regard, a qualitative Resilience Framework is proposed and applied to a rail company to react to adverse and sudden events. Furthermore, it is crucial to measure a company's level of Resilience. The FAHP and TOPSIS models were used and suitably reworked to create an appropriate resilience index.
Keywords: Resilience engineering, Resilience index, Resilience framework.
