Is your supply chain ready for the next disruption? Building resilient chains [Su cadena de suministro esta preparada para la proxima disrupcion? Construccion de cadenas resilientes]

The ability to recover from disruptions is important for organizations and supply chains. Empirical data were used to investigate factors that affect supply chain recovery from disruptions, including collaboration, visibility, flexibility, analytical orientation, and supplychain risk management. A literature review was conducted to build an online questionnaire that was applied to manufacturing firms inBrazil. This work’s statistical method includes confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Our results indicate that apackage of resilience capabilities - collaboration, flexibility, visibility, and analytical orientation - positively affect supply chain resilience.Improving such capabilities, therefore, will allow supply chains to recover better from disruptions. It was also discovered, however, thatsupply chains do not recover from disruptions by way of supply chain risk management alone.
