Critical success factors towards resilient agri-food supply chains

Abstract

Resilience is proposed as one of the main characteristics a contemporary supply chain system should possess in order to deal with the uncertainties created by the latest environmental, economic, and social crises. Especially in the case of the agri-food supply chains, the need to ensure that they are capable of responding to such disruptions has started to lead to the implementation of new practices considering the creation of more resilient and adaptable agri-food supply chain systems. This transitioning can be complicated as the integration of new practices involves the overcoming of certain barriers that occur. The aim of this research is to identify and discuss the critical success factors for the creation of resilient agri-food supply chains.

“…Furthermore, the vulnerability of global supply chains to environmental uncertainties has accentuated the importance of supply chain resilience, particularly in the context of the textile industry, emphasizing the need for resilience to mitigate disruptions (Thị et al, 2023). Additionally, the creation of resilient supply chains has been identified as a promising solution to disruption management, further underlining the significance of resilience in ensuring operational continuity (Kontopanou & Tsoulfas, 2022). In conclusion, the future outlook for advanced analytics in supply chain resilience involves leveraging emerging tools such as artificial intelligence, stress tests, and digital twins to quantify efficiency/resilience tradeoffs and support optimal system performance postdisruption.…”
