A framework of factors affecting supply chain flood resilience

Flood risk and supply chain resilience have emerged as a key management concern, due to global sourcing and globalization of supply chain. This study aims to develop a framework to identify important factors for the establishment of flood-resilient supply chain. The framework is formulated based on the concept of resilience triangle and the distinctive characteristics of flood disaster. The relevant vulnerability and capability factors are discussed with an aim to quantitatively explore the opportunities for reducing the loss of supply chain performance. The findings of this study serve as the first step towards a quantitative assessment and optimization of supply chain flood resilience.
