Figure 1
The flowchart is divided into three phases from top to bottom. It starts with an oval at the top labeled “Review of Literature.” A downward arrow from this oval connects to the first text box labeled with two points: “1. Compilation of enablers and Resilience assessment measures 2. Formulation of research objectives.” The top oval and the first text box are grouped by an opening curly bracket on the left labeled “PHASE 1.” A downward arrow from the first text box points to the second text box labeled: “Discussion with experts from case supply chain for finalising enablers and business outcomes as resilience assessment measures.” A downward arrow from the second text box leads to the third text box labeled: “Implementation of Graph Theoretic and Matrix Approach.” A downward arrow from the third text box points to the fourth text box labeled: “Plot digraphs with nodes representing the enablers and edges representing interdependency between them.” A downward arrow from the fourth text box connects to the fifth text box labeled: “Transform digraphs into matrix form with diagonal elements representing inheritance and off-diagonal elements representing interdependencies.” The second to fifth text boxes are grouped by an opening curly bracket on the left labeled “PHASE 2.” A downward arrow from the fifth text box connects to the sixth text box labeled: “Seek responses from experts for weights of inheritance and inter-dependencies.” A downward arrow from the sixth text box connects to the seventh text box labeled: “Substitute the values of inheritance and interdependency in the matrix. Evaluate the permanent function for the above matrix for each business outcome substituted as a diagonal element.” A downward arrow from the seventh text box connects to the eighth text box labeled: “Evaluate the permanent function of system level matrix to obtain resilience index.” A downward arrow from the eighth text box connects to the ninth text box labeled: “Consolidation of Findings and Learning Outcomes.” The sixth to ninth text boxes are grouped by an opening curly bracket on the left labeled “PHASE 3.”Conceptual framework of Graph Theoretic and Matrix Approach.
