  2. A supply chain view of the resilient enterprise

    James B. Rice, Yossi Sheffi · 2005 · Dialnet (Universidad de la Rioja) · 1,767 citations

    Many companies leave risk management and business continuity to security professionals, business continuity planners or insurance professionals. However, the authors argue, building a resilient enterprise should be a strategic initiative that changes the way a company operates and increases its competitiveness. Reducing vulnerability means both reducing the likelihood of a disruption and increasing resilience. Resilience, in turn, can be achieved by either creating redundancy or increasing flexibility. Redundancy is the familiar concept of keeping some resources in reserve to be used in case of a disruption. The most common forms of redundancy are safety stock, the deliberate use of multiple

  3. A digital supply chain twin for managing the disruption risks and resilience in the era of Industry 4.0

    Dmitry Ivanov, Alexandre Dolgui · 2020 · Production Planning & Control · 1,727 citations

    We theorize a notion of a digital supply chain (SC) twin – a computerized model that represents network states for any given moment in real time. We explore the conditions surrounding the design and implementation of the digital twins when managing disruption risks in SCs. The combination of model-based and data-driven approaches allows uncovering the interrelations of risk data, disruption modeling, and performance assessment. The SC shocks and adaptations amid the COVID-19 pandemic along with post-pandemic recoveries provide indisputable evidences for the urgent needs of digital twins for mapping supply networks and ensuring visibility. The results of this study contribute to the research

  4. The Severity of Supply Chain Disruptions: Design Characteristics and Mitigation Capabilities

    Christopher W. Craighead, Jennifer Blackhurst, Manus Rungtusanatham, et al. · 2007 · Decision Sciences · 1,690 citations

    ABSTRACT Supply chain disruptions and the associated operational and financial risks represent the most pressing concern facing firms that compete in today's global marketplace. Extant research has not only confirmed the costly nature of supply chain disruptions but has also contributed relevant insights on such related issues as supply chain risks, vulnerability, resilience, and continuity. In this conceptual note, we focus on a relatively unexplored issue, asking and answering the question of how and why one supply chain disruption would be more severe than another. In doing so, we argue, de facto, that supply chain disruptions are unavoidable and, as a consequence, that all supply chains

  5. Firm's resilience to supply chain disruptions: Scale development and empirical examination

    Saurabh Ambulkar, Jennifer Blackhurst, Scott J. Grawe · 2014 · Journal of Operations Management · 1,367 citations

    Abstract This paper expands our understanding of factors that contribute to development of firm resilience to supply chain disruptions. In doing so, we operationalize firm resilience to understand how supply chain disruption orientated firms can develop resilience to supply chain disruptions. We find that supply chain disruption orientation alone is not enough for a firm to develop resilience. Supply chain disruption oriented firms require the ability to reconfigure resources or have a risk management resource infrastructure to develop resilience. The way in which supply chain disruption oriented firms develop resilience through resource reconfiguration or risk management infrastructure depe

  6. A Contingent Resource‐Based Perspective of Supply Chain Resilience and Robustness

    Emma Brandon‐Jones, Brian Squire, Chad W. Autry, et al. · 2014 · Journal of Supply Chain Management · 1,349 citations

    Understanding supply chain resilience and robustness is increasingly important for supply chain managers. This is due to the growing complexity of contemporary supply chains and the subsequent increased probability of experiencing a disruption. Few studies within the risk management literature have empirically disentangled the concepts of resilience and robustness or explored their antecedents. This study utilizes a contingent resource‐based view perspective to understand the relationship between specific resources (information sharing and connectivity), capabilities (visibility), and performance in terms of supply chain resilience and robustness. In addition, it utilizes supply base complex

  8. Can supply chain risk management practices mitigate the disruption impacts on supply chains’ resilience and robustness? Evidence from an empirical survey in a COVID-19 outbreak era

    Jamal El Baz, Salomée Ruel · 2020 · International Journal of Production Economics · 856 citations

    This study investigates the role of supply chain risk management (SCRM) in mitigating the effects of disruptions impacts on supply chain resilience and robustness in the context of COVID-19 outbreak. Using structural equation modeling on a survey data from 470 French firms, the results confirm the basic tenets of resource-based view and organizational information processing theories regarding the combination of dynamic resources to face disruptions’ uncertainty. Furthermore, the findings reveal the mediating role of SCRM practices and the prominent role they play in fostering supply chain resilience and robustness. Overall, by providing empirical assessment of a comprehensive SCRM framework,

  9. Supply chain resilience for single and multiple sourcing in the presence of disruption risks

    Jafar Namdar, Xueping Li, Rupy Sawhney, et al. · 2017 · International Journal of Production Research · 365 citations

    This paper investigates the use of sourcing strategies to achieve supply chain resilience under disruptions. The coping strategies considered are single and multiple sourcing, backup supplier contracts, spot purchasing, and collaboration and visibility. Collaboration and visibility, which affect suppliers’ recovery capabilities and a buyer’s warning capability, have not been similarly modelled in the past. A scenario-based mathematical model is developed such that it considers objectives under uncertainties including disruption risks and operational risks. A broad numerical study examines its output for various risk attitudes in a decision-maker, ranging from risk neutral to risk averse. The

  10. Low-Certainty-Need (LCN) supply chains: a new perspective in managing disruption risks and resilience

    Dmitry Ivanov, Alexandre Dolgui · 2018 · International Journal of Production Research · 361 citations

    This study suggests a new approach to supply chain (SC) disruption risk management where SC behaviour is less dependent on the certainty of our knowledge about the environment and its changes. The unpredictability of the occurrence of disruption and its magnitude suggests that designing SCs with a low need for ‘certainty’ may be as important, if not more so, than predetermined disruption control strategies. In this setting, this study calls for the development of a new perspective in SC disruption management, i.e. low-certainty-need (LCN) SCs. A number of principles and concepts is derived in recent, relevant literature to structure the characteristics of the LCN framework and its management

  11. An Integrative approach to supply chain disruption risk and resilience management: a literature review

    Mansoor Shekarian, Mahour Mellat Parast · 2020 · International Journal of Logistics Research and Applications · 300 citations

    ABSTRACT A fundamental question in supply chain resilience is identifying its antecedents and investigating the relative importance of each antecedent in improving resilience to supply chain disruptions. In this paper, a comprehensive systematic literature review is conducted to assess the impact of each of the most widely known practices to enhance resilience (flexibility, agility, redundancy, and collaboration) on mitigating each type of supply chain disruption (demand, supply, process, control, and environmental disruptions). The literature review found that collaboration has been identified by the literature as the most important strategy to cope with control disruptions, and flexibility

  24. AI-Driven Predictive Analytics for Supply Chain Resilience, Financial Risk Management, and Digital Marketing Strategy: A Unified Business Intelligence Framework

    Md. Lutfor Rahman, M. Alam, Rubaba Anzum, et al. · 2026 · Journal of Business and Management Studies · 9 citations

    The arrival of artificial intelligence and big-data analytics at scale has begun to redraw the strategic map of the modern enterprise. Three areas sit close to the center of that change: how firms manage their supply chains, how they assess financial risk, and how they think about digital marketing. Each has its own substantial literature, yet the three are seldom examined together inside a single, properly governed analytical architecture. This paper sets out to close that gap. We develop and empirically validate a Unified Business Intelligence (UBI) framework that brings machine-learning engines, predictive analytics pipelines, and explainable AI modules into one coherent three-layer desig
