Instantaneous supply chain disruptions and super disruptions (supply chain crises) (Ivanov, 2021c)

	Instantaneous disruption, e.g., an earthquake or fire	Super disruption (supply chain crisis), e.g., a pandemic
Impact	Instant impact	Long-lasting impact with barely predictable scaling
Scope	Single supply chain echelon (with possible propagations)	Simultaneous disruptions in supply, demand, and logistics
Recovery	Begins when the disruption is over	Is performed in the presence of the disruption and its unpredictable scaling
Timing	A single disruptive event	Simultaneous and/or sequential openings and closures of suppliers, facilities, and markets
