Requirements for supply chain resilience based on previous research
| Supply chain resilience requirements | Description | Authors |
|---|---|---|
| Flexibility | Refers to easily adjusting production levels, raw-material purchases and transport capacity | Aronsson et al. (2011), Brusset and Teller (2017), Gunasekaran et al. (2015), Riccardo et al. (2021), Scholten and Schilder (2015) |
| Collaboration | Coordination with internal management and external actors to create sustainable optimization flow through the supply chain to meet demand and ensure on-time, in-full delivery efficiency | Gunasekaran et al. (2015), Karl et al. (2018), Scholten and Schilder (2015), Singh et al. (2019) |
| Redundancy | The ability to withstand any type of failure at any point in the primary supply chain using backup resources through holding extra inventory, maintaining low-capacity utilization, using multiple suppliers, etc | Ivanov and Dolgui (2021), Karl et al. (2018), Riccardo et al. (2021), Singh et al. (2019) |
| Visibility | The ability to track individual components, Sub-assemblies and finished products as they move from supplier to manufacturer to consumer | Dubey et al. (2018), Ivanov and Dolgui (2021), Karl et al. (2018), Singh et al. (2019) |
| Agility | A company's capacity to swiftly modify its strategy, particularly in terms of procurement, inventory control, and delivery, to accommodate the needs of a rapidly shifting supply chain | Dubey et al. (2018), Karl et al. (2018), Singh et al. (2019), Schlegel and Trent (2015) |
| Adaptability | The capacity to modify each supply network to consider the changes, as well as the ability to adapt a supply chain's design to accommodate structural changes, disruptions and shifting consumer behavior | Dubey et al. (2018), Karl et al. (2018), Singh et al. (2019) |
| Culture change | The process of encouraging employees to behave and think according to the values and goals of the company | Singh et al. (2019) |
| Technology used for information sharing | Supply chain technology facilitates the analysis of data, the generation of insights (e.g. customer requirements, transport and storage constraints and supplier lead times) and the making of decisions that have a direct or indirect impact on the overall performance of the supply chain | Brusset and Teller (2017), Schlegel and Trent (2015) |
| Risk management | The process of identifying, assessing and mitigating the risks of an organization’s supply chain. Implementing supply chain risk management strategies can help to enhance operation efficiency, reduce costs and improve customer services | Gunasekaran et al. (2015), Ivanov and Dolgui (2021), Karl et al. (2018), Scholten and Schilder (2015), Singh et al. (2019) |
| Robustness | The supply chain's ability to resist change and its proactive expectation of advancement before it occurs | Dubey et al. (2018), Karl et al. (2018), Singh et al. (2019) |
| Sustainability | Characterized as utilizing resources capable of mitigating current problems while ignoring resources that should be reserved for future generations | Singh et al. (2019) |
| Awareness | Comprehension of supply chain vulnerabilities and making appropriate corresponding arrangements; requires the capacity to perceive a potential disturbance by detecting and translating events using early warning systems | Dubey et al. (2018), Karl et al. (2018), Singh et al. (2019) |
| Security | Building security protects the supply chain against counterfeiting (e.g. cyber-security and freight security) | Dubey et al. (2018), Karl et al. (2018), Singh et al. (2019) |
| Supply chain design | To ensure that a supply chain is resilient, there must be an appropriate understanding of supply chain network design | Singh et al. (2019) |
| Public–private partnerships | Public–private partnerships help the supply chain post-disruption through interpersonal relations and social capabilities | Singh et al. (2019) |
