Supply chain resilience and its interplay with digital technologies: making innovations work in emergency situations

Abstract

Supply chain resilience and its interplay with digital technologies: making innovations work in emergency situations Resilience in supply chains is as vital for firms as immune systems are for human beings. Immune systems continuously monitor, anticipate and adapt to dynamic environments. Similarly, resilience capabilities in supply chains (SC) enable recovery and adaptation when the SC are exposed to and affected by changes in environmental and operational factors (MacCarthy et al., 2016). One such significant and rapidly emerging change is digitalization in firms and in society (Richey et al., 2016, Ivanov et al., 2019cPanetto et al., 2019). Supply chain resilience (SCR), as a capability, is both challenged and enhanced by digitalization. Although the concept of resilience in supply chain management (SCM) is not new (

Leveraging supply chain disruption orientation for resilience: the roles of supply chain risk management practices and analytics capability

“…Growing concerns about supply chain disruptions have persisted (Bode et al. , 2011; Ivanov et al. , 2021).…”

“…, 2018). Apart from the significance of the enabling role in most studies, we have a limited understanding of the role of analytics capability in leveraging SCRM practices (Ivanov et al. , 2021).…”

“…Growing concerns about supply chain disruptions have persisted (Bode et al, 2011;Ivanov et al, 2021). For example, the outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in supply shortages and demand spikes and consequently led to a negative effect on the global economy (Craighead et al, 2020).…”

“…In the digital supply chain nowadays, analytics capability is a technological capability to "process large volumes and varieties of data with the velocity required to gain relevant insights" (Srinivasan andSwink, 2017, p. 1850), which is of tremendous value for the establishment and execution process of SCRM practices (Ivanov et al, 2018). Apart from the significance of the enabling role in most studies, we have a limited understanding of the role of analytics capability in leveraging SCRM practices (Ivanov et al, 2021). In the example mentioned above, P&G also facilitated the recovery process by leveraging analytic tools to predict positions and scales of subsequent damages in disruptions (Schatteman et al, 2020).…”

Supply chain firm performance in circular economy and digital era to achieve sustainable development goals

“…Technologies like Industry 4.0 (I4.0) are considered significant drivers for establishing a proactive, self-configured, and automated manufacturing system to attain sustainability goals. I4.0 is the integration of technologies like cyber-physical systems (CPS), internet of things (IoT), big data (BD), cloud computing (CC), and artificial intelligence (AI) (Ivanov et al, 2021;Luthra et al, 2020) that can aid CE and sustainable production and consumption by providing real-time information and dynamic monitoring capabilities (Ma et al, 2019). I4.0 technologies can disrupt the conventional approach and support efficient resource utilization to improve sustainable environmental performance (Li et al, 2020).…”
