Designing fault-tolerant distributed systems for supply chain management: Architectural patterns and manufacturing scenarios
Author(s): Mykyta Roilian
Abstract: This article presents an analysis of architectural solutions aimed at ensuring the fault tolerance of distributed information systems used in supply chain management within industrial environments. Three primary patterns are examined: replication, fallback mechanisms, and graceful degradation. The study evaluates their applicability across various failure scenarios and provides a comparative assessment based on recovery time objectives (RTO and MTTR) and system availability. The necessity of integrated architectural design is emphasized, considering the criticality of business functions. Recommendations are proposed for the implementation of fault-tolerant strategies at different infrastructure levels to improve the reliability and predictability of supply chain management systems.
