Abstract

The development of resilient and sustainable supply chains is perceived as the ultimate ideal to enhance supply chain performance. To cope with the increasing frequency and severity of supply chain disruptions, organizations are developing crucial capabilities to manage disruptions effectively. Most literature would suggest that a supply chain with high resilience would be more sustainable. However, others argue that sustainability and resilience objectives could be conflicting with each other. This chapter discusses the relationship between strategies employed by a supply chain to build resiliency against disruption and the impact of those practices on the sustainability of the supply chain, in particular, the environmental performance. In addition, this chapter reviews modeling approaches that are utilized to control costs, service levels, sustainability performance, and create resiliency in the supply chain. This book chapter could be used as a reference for researchers who are interested in the general management approach to the sustainable and resilient supply chain in addition to integrating resilient and sustainability factors in the supply chain modeling.
