Adaptability has long been a crucial attribute of modern organizations. However, in recent years, resilience has become equally essential, shaping the future trajectory of their development. The aim of this study is to contribute empirically by proposing simulation as a method for enhancing operational resilience. Designing workflows within this context necessitates a multifaceted approach. While a comprehensive understanding of the individual process steps is essential, it is equally crucial to consider the broader system context and the factors that influence the successful execution and desired outcomes. This paper presents simulation research as a tool for performance improvement, and investment decisions. Crucially, simulation modelling facilitates a forwardlooking approach, enabling organizations to not only withstand and recover from challenges but to emerge strengthened and transformed, rather than merely reverting to pre-crisis conditions. The article emphasizes the strategic value of simulation modelling in enhancing an organization’s operational resilience.}, title={Enhancing Operational Resilience Through the Simulation of Automated Material Handling in the Food Industry}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/137863/PDF-MASTER/574_2k.pdf}, doi={10.24425/mper.2025.157214}, keywords={operational resilience, simulation, production, logistics, organizational improvement, organizationalresilience}, }
