Abstract
Nowadays, Supply Chain Networks (SCNs) must respond to economic, environmental, social, and uncertain considerations. Thus, sustainable and resilience criteria need to be incorporated as key criteria into the Supply Chain Network Design (SCND). This paper, as part of an emerging subject, reviews the literature between 2010 and 2021 that integrates sustainability and resilience on the SCND. The article classifies the literature according to the levels of the SCND, levels of the decision-making (i.e., strategic, tactical, and operational), resilience and sustainability criteria, solving approach, objective criteria, contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and real-world applications. The main findings allow us to conclude that the decisions regarding the supply chain network design with sustainability and resilience criteria are mainly strategic, focusing on the forward flow. Most works address resilience through the evaluation of scenarios (risk assessment perspective), and in terms of the sustainability perspective, authors mainly focus on the economic dimension through the evaluation of income and costs along the chain. Based on the review and the proposed taxonomy, the paper proposes ideas for future research.
Highlights
Chains (SCs) are vital for economic development in a globalized world
This paper aims to contribute to this subject, considering: levels in the Supply Chain Network Design (SCND), levels of the decision-making, i.e., strategic, tactical, and operational, resilience and sustainability criteria, solving approach, objective criteria, and real-world applications
A detailed analysis of the selected papers is presented below according to the taxonomy presented in Figure 2 for the SRSCND
Summary
In its most general form, the SC is defined as a system in which raw materials are converted into final products and are delivered to consumers [1]. Companies are concerned about a broader complex system called Supply Chain Network (SCN). The SCN is defined as a network of organizations and processes where various stakeholders (i.e., suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, among others) collaborate to acquire raw materials, convert them into final products, and deliver them to costumers [2,3,4]. Considering the types of decision-making in the SCN, one of the most expensive and irreversible long-term, strategic decisions is the Supply Chain Network Design (SCND) [5]. The complexity of the decisions in the SCND is related to the strategies needed for increasing the value-added, efficiency, resilience, and sustainability of the network structures.
