Abstract

Many researchers have analyzed the effect of disruptive events, such as natural disasters and economic and market forces, on global supply chains. However, there is a lack of consensus on delineating a universal collection of supply chain risk management practices that will help companies operate in a global market with large-scale disruptions. In this article, we present an analysis, in conjunction with a worldwide online survey, based on successful global brands and their supply chains. We propose a framework that deploys the dynamics of building supply chain resilience, first linking the design of the supply chain portfolio (local versus global scope, as well as strategic responsiveness versus cost reduction) with supply chain vulnerabilities (external versus internal). We describe the transition between different supply chain structures as a way of coping with disruptions and thus proactively developing resilience. In this article, we introduce both a supply chain risk management approach and the reactive-by-deployment mode, as illustrated by successful global company examples.

4. Fostering supply chain resilience

Although recent research streams have attempted to find a universal supply chain risk and disruption management practice, our own theoretical and empirical research confirms that this universality is not possible. Successful global organizations have built a key attribute in today’s economy, creating resilience by focusing on risk-management practices, as well as integrating the idea of resilience from initial conceptualization of a product and its supply chain, thereby integrating the risk awareness into a single design process. In this regard, successful supply chain risk-mitigation management practices can balance proactive mitigation capabilities with reactive capabilities that require customization of the deployment within the supply chain design in the face of a disruptive incident. Our proposed framework might serve as the skeleton for supporting executive directors in the deployment of resilience in a dynamic manner. Companies should first be aware of the nature of their supply chain and understand its vulnerabilities before attempting to design a risk management plan.
