Building Resilient Supply Chains: Navigating Disruptions and Ensuring Sustainability Through Integrated Strategies and Technological Innovations
Blessing Ameh
ABSTRACT:
The resilience of global supply chains has become a critical issue following significant disruptions caused by natural disasters, COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions. These disruptions exposed vulnerabilities across various industries, leading to shortages, delays, economic losses, and inflationary pressures. This study examines pre- and post-COVID-19 supply chain disruptions events and identifies key trends and vulnerabilities. The analysis shows that diversified sourcing, improved logistics management, and predictive analytics are the most effective strategies for enhancing resilience. Conversely, over-reliance on trade agreements and certain technologies hindered recovery in some cases. The research employs data-driven methodologies, and case studies to offer practical recommendations for businesses and policymakers. By leveraging these insights, the study outlines how tailored resilience frameworks can mitigate future disruptions, particularly in high-risk sectors such as energy and manufacturing, thereby contributing to global economic stability and long-term supply chain viability.
