Revealing interfaces of supply chain resilience and sustainability: a simulation study
TLDR
The results indicate that sustainable single sourcing enhances the ripple effect; facility fortification at major employers in regions mitigates the rippleEffect and enhances sustainability; and a reduction in storage facilities in the supply chain downstream of a disruption-risky facility increases sustainability but causes the rippleeffect.Abstract:
Dynamics of structures and processes is one of the underlying challenges in supply chain management, where multiple dimensions of economic efficiency, risk management and sustainability are interconnected. One of the substantiated issues in supply chain dynamics is resilience. Resilience has a number of intersections with supply chain sustainability. This paper aims at analysing disruption propagation in the supply chain with consideration of sustainability factors in order to design resilient supply chain structure in regard to ripple effect mitigation and sustainability increase. Ripple effect in the supply chain occurs if a disruption at a supplier cannot be localised and cascades downstream impacting supply chain performance. This simulation-based study helps to identify what sustainability factors mitigate the ripple effect in the supply chain and what sustainability factors enhance this effect. The results indicate that (i) sustainable single sourcing enhances the ripple effect; (ii) facility fortif...read more

Blockchain technology and its relationships to sustainable supply chain management
TL;DR: This paper critically examines how blockchains, a potentially disruptive technology that is early in its evolution, can overcome many potential barriers and proposes future research propositions and directions that can provide insights into overcoming barriers and adoption of blockchain technology for supply chain management.

Viable supply chain model: integrating agility, resilience and sustainability perspectives-lessons from and thinking beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
TL;DR: The VSC model can help firms in guiding their decisions on recovery and re-building of their SCs after global, long-term crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and can be of value for decision-makers to design SCs that can react adaptively to both positive changes and negative changes.

On the Value of Mitigation and Contingency Strategies for Managing Supply Chain Disruption Risks
TL;DR: The study of a single-product setting in which a firm can source from two suppliers, one that is unreliable and another that is reliable but more expensive, finds that contingent rerouting is often a component of the optimal disruption-management strategy, and that it can significantly reduce the firms costs.

The severity of supply chain disruptions: Design characteristics and mitigation capabilities
TL;DR: It is argued, de facto, that supply chain disruptions are unavoidable and, as a consequence, that all supply chains are inherently risky.
