Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a way to achieve a resilient supply chain by means of increased robustness and event readiness. Based on the literature available, this paper proposes a conceptual framework for the understanding of supply chain resilience. The paper also derives a correlation between event readiness, robustness and resilience based on extant literature. In order to improve readiness and in turn improve resilience this paper conducts a pareto analysis of 23 causes of disruptions to find out the most critical ones which are examined and further implications for research are pointed out.

Keywords- Resilience, Readiness, Robustness, Supply chain disruptions
