OPTIMIZING SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE: AN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING APPROACH

ABSTRACT : Current supply chain operations across the globe suffer interruptions because of geopolitical conflicts alongside economic instabilities and cyber threats, pandemics and climate change events. The current situations require companies to build stronger supply chain resilience as this approach enables operational continuity while protecting market dominance. Supply chain resilience optimization research at industrial engineering utilizes risk management alongside redundancy planning and digitalization for implementing best strategies. The research integrates mixed discipline approaches through analytical models together with business applications for real-life solutions that show procedures for organizational implementation of resilience. Higher levels of supply chain resiliency result from organizations which integrate computerized transformation efforts with risk evaluations backed by programmed contingency systems. Through its systematic approach the research produces important findings accessible to university faculty members and both supply chain practitioners and policymakers in modern supply networks.
