Track: Supply Chain Management

Abstract

Recent events unveiled that it has become eminent to understand the wide dimensions of the supply chains disturbance and how to mitigate its effect on the performance. The complexity of globally stretched supply chains of different products and specifically agro food supply chains have increased the sensitivity of the performance if any disturbances occur. This paper reviews the literature from 2017 concerned with resilience in supply chains and agro food supply chains with the aim of building a complete understanding of the strategies to deal with disruptions. The review classifies the risks, decision variables, and objectives considered in the resilient supply chains. The different model types are addressed together with the appropriate solution techniques used. The research gaps were identified and the different research paths were highlighted that are scarce in literature. The results show the dearth in research on agro food supply chains and application of the models on real case studies. Sustainability is rarely addressed and linked with resilience. Limited research addressed resilience as a performance measure although it is of great importance., while a few considered the tradeoff between financial and resilience measures
