Abstract
Supply chain resilience (SCR) has emerged as a buzz word during the COVID-19 pandemic situation. With the emerging digital technologies and methodologies, optimizing SCM has become the utmost priority for any organization to achieve the SCR capabilities. The pandemic has compelled organizations to rethink about their SC processes and perform risk analysis to achieve SC resilience. Regional diversification of vendors, proactive identification of potential risks, usage of digital technologies lead to increase in factors such as SC visibility, agility, and flexibility to develop SCR. This chapter develops a SC resilience model by linking the SC planning processes, strategies, and application of digital technologies to achieve capabilities of SCR by a business organization in a pandemic situation. The outcome of this research would be very useful to the industry practitioners and academic researchers in the SC area.
