Facilitating Vulnerable Supplier Network Management Using Bicriterion Network Resilience Management Approach

Abstract

This study aims to enable a high level of coordination to cope with increasing levels of uncertainty by computing supplier- and network-based resilience values. Our case study is based on a real-world highly connected global manufacturing firm based in Korea as a test environment to evaluate a proposed bicriterion network resilience model using resilience and network values, together with an ordering approach. An outranking methodology is used to determine the improvement priorities of suppliers to achieve a high level of overall network resilience. The results show that the effectiveness of a firm’s performance with respect to the entire supply chain may increase or decrease based on its embeddedness and connectivity within the supply network. This study is one of the first to provide an integrative (resilience capabilities and network attributes) approach to the supplier improvement model, future studies are encouraged to expand the model to different network settings.

Dynamic capabilities for circular manufacturing supply chains—Exploring the role of Industry 4.0 and resilience

“…Resilience can help SCs realise circular business models and proactively respond to any crisis in dynamically changing environments due to the presence of crucial capabilities (Laumann & Tambo, 2018; Nandi et al, 2021). Supply chain resilience is dependent on capabilities such as flexibility, agility, efficiency, visibility, collaboration and so on (Martin & Peck, 2004; Shin & Park, 2020), which can assist them to respond to market uncertainties, changing customer requirements and disruptive events in a timely manner.…”
