Resilience and Vulnerability in Supply Chain: Literature review

Abstract

Resilience and vulnerability in the supply chain are two concepts that fall within the area of risk management. These two concepts are the factors ensuring the performance and sustainability of the supply chain. The main aim of this paper is to synthesis and review the state of the art of research on vulnerability management and resilience in this context. Through structured review of the literature, this study provides an overview of the conceptual and methodological research in this field, not as a collection of independent items, but as a whole, in an integrated manner. We provide the consideration of a review of relevant literature methods and approaches developed to understand the various issues raised in the domain of vulnerability and resilience in the supply chain. Our intention is to cover the full spectrum of these problems and to provide potential challenges, along with conclusions and recommendations for novice and researchers by positioning most promising paths of future research. Particular attention was paid to researches that focus on performance measurement.
