Abstract
To deal with emergencies in the development of large passenger aircraft, the optimization of supply chain resilience is studied. First, based on the “main manufacturer–supplier” model adopted by the synergistic development supply chain of large passenger aircraft, a resilience analysis framework is established from the perspective of the main manufacturer and supplier, based on which a bilateral grey quality function deployment resilience measurement model is proposed. Second, a single-perspective resilience optimization model of the main manufacturer and supplier under cost constraints is constructed. Then, an overall resilience optimization model of the supply chain considering the synergistic effect and cooperation uncertainty is presented. Finally, the development of a large airliner’s fuselage is taken as an example to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the proposed model. The results show that (1) the synergy between the main manufacturers and suppliers can not only improve resilience of the whole supply chain, but also reduce their own competitiveness and resilience, respectively; (2) a benign cooperative relationship can effectively improve the overall resilience; on the contrary, it can reduce the overall elasticity; (3) the cost of supply chain has a great impact on the resilience of the main manufacturers and suppliers, respectively.
Highlights
The large number of suppliers and complex distribution areas make the large aircraft supply chain face various threats; for example, Boeing 737 and 787 and Airbus A350 have successively experienced problems with delayed delivery of orders because of poor supply chain management. erefore, it is not difficult to find that even mature civil aircraft manufacturers have difficulty in avoiding the impact of supply chain emergencies
Given the long development cycle, high technical level, and high efficiency and quality requirements of large aircraft, the supply chain will face various kinds of sudden interruption problems. e high incidence of these problems will lead to rising levels of risk [5, 6], whereas resilience ensures that the supply chain can recover quickly and economically from the interruption [7]. erefore, improvement of the overall control ability and resilience of the large aircraft supply chain is a subject of practical significance

Summary
A large aircraft consists of millions of parts, which usually take years to decades to develop and manufacture, and the civil aircraft parts used need to be supplied by a number of suppliers around the world. With the continuous improvement of production technology and method, QFD is applied in various industries, such as manufacturing, transportation, platform design, construction, education, and service [26–28] It is widely used in the field of supply chain [29–33]. Based on the organizational model of the supply chain of large aircraft and considering the synergy between the main manufacturer and suppliers, Section 2 constructs a bilateral QFD supply chain resilience measurement model. 2. Bilateral Grey Quality Function Deployment Measurement Model e supply chain of China’s self-developed large aircraft adopts the “main manufacturer–supplier” mode. From the perspective of the main manufacturer and supplier, considering the relationship between the two, a bilateral QFD framework is established to measure the overall resilience of the supply chain.
