Summary/Abstract: In the context of evolving environment of organizations, and in view of the need to oppose unforeseen negative phenomena, it is necessary to seek system’s resilience building strategies. A low level of supply chain’s resilience can result in a lack of underlying processes continuity, and thus also failing to achieve supply chain’s objectives. The process of providing a high level of resilience should be implemented in a more or less formalized manner. This manner should be recognized as the supply chain resilience building strategy. The author speculates that the use of resilience building strategies should be reflected in supply chain’s dependability. This dependability can be evaluated on the basis of measurable parameters but also from customer’s point of view. The purpose of this paper is to review resilience building strategies. In addition, the article presents results of pilot study aimed at assessing steel products supply chain’s dependability. Research subjects of the article are characterized by a different approach to supply chain’s resilience shaping. This fact points to the possibility of subjects’ examining in the context of the relationship between ways of shaping the resilience and the dependability of logistic processes they undertake.
