Abstract

ABSTRACT Disasters can severely impact supply chains (SCs), including all stakeholders involved. This study aims to identify the impacts of major disasters on SCs and countermeasure strategies. Based on a systematic literature review, we analyse 160 documents to propose a taxonomy, research agenda, and framework. The taxonomy encompasses a list of impacts categorised into resource constraints, SC instability, outflow disruption, financial constraints, and consumption patterns. Strategies are divided into proactive (preventive SC collaboration, resources maintenance, digitalisation or automation, local SC, and human capabilities) and reactive (responsive SC collaboration, resources maintenance, information system, virtual marketplaces, and business continuity plans). The research agenda provides opportunities for future research based on the literature analysis. Finally, the framework presents the study findings using an integrated and holistic approach. The study expands the theoretical view related to the impacts of disasters on SCs and highlights the need to implement strategies to ensure the functioning of SCs during disasters.
