Introduction A supply chain is often defined as the totality of all functions that are involved in the planning, production, storing and distribution of products and services to maintain the flow of information and goods from the suppliers to the end user often carried out by a network of organisations (Mentzeret al., 2001, Janvier-James, 2012, Singh et al., 2019). There are different functions carried out by different parties within a supply chain which may include forecasting, warehousing, and so on, however in the process of carrying out these functions, unforeseen disruptions that can affect the flow of goods and information often occur. (Qi et al.,2017; Rajgopal, 2019). Behdaniet al., (2012) states that the effect of these disruptions in the supply chain network of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is often faster than that oflarge enterprises. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), especially in developing countries like Nigeria, are often seen as agents that speed up the rate of economic growth. According to the survey carried out by National Bureau of Statistics (2017), the number of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) MSMEs as at December, 2017 in Nigeria stands at 41,593,028 why their contribution to the Gross Domestic Product stands at 49.78 percent. However, these enterprises are often faced with various challenges. Although the Nigeria micro and small enterprises had seen a significant growth of 12.1% and 4.6% respectively between 2013 1nd 2017, the medium enterprises had dropped significantly by 61% (Kale, 2019). According to Sama (2011) and Fasikaet al., (2014), some of the challenges faced may include but not limited to lack of competitive advantage, lack of flexibility in satisfying customers' demands, and lack of full supply chain integration. However, among these challenges, the effects of unforeseen disruptions cannot be overemphasized in the SMEs' supply chain. Large enterprises often face the challenges of disruptions more differently than the small and medium enterprise because of the large nodes of the supply chain they possess (Abdul-Malik et al., 2014).
