Abstract

Globalization has enhanced the complexity and interdependence of supply chains, increasing vulnerability to disruptions such as pandemics, geopolitical tensions, and climate events. Supply chain resilience—the capacity to anticipate, respond to, and recover from such disruptions—has become a critical strategic capability. This paper explores the concept of supply chain resilience, its drivers, and the strategic and technological interventions used to build it. We analyze case studies and empirical findings to identify effective resilience practices across sectors. The study concludes with a framework for organizations to assess and enhance their resilience posture in an increasingly uncertain global environment.
