Summary
In the era of unprecedented disruptions, resilient supply chain engineering has emerged as a critical domain
for ensuring sustainability, adaptability, and operational continuity. This research explores the integration of
resilience strategies and sustainability practices within supply chain management, emphasizing their
importance in mitigating the impacts of global crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change.
Key themes include climate-adaptive supply chains, ethical practices, and digital transformation through
technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and blockchain. The paper highlights the role of
renewable energy, advanced analytics, and innovative frameworks in building supply chains capable of
withstanding volatility while aligning with sustainability goals. By analysing case studies of industry leaders
like Amazon and Unilever, it underscores the effectiveness of real-time monitoring systems, risk mitigation
strategies, and ethical sourcing in enhancing resilience. Challenges such as technology adoption barriers for
SMEs and the integration of legacy systems are addressed, offering future research directions that include AIdriven resilience models and sustainable blockchain practices. This study contributes to the evolving field of
resilient supply chain engineering by proposing actionable insights for fostering stability, adaptability, and
sustainability in a rapidly changing global landscape.
