Exploring the synergy between sustainability and resilience in supply chains under stochastic demand conditions and network disruptions
The impact of global events such as the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Suez Canal obstruction, and the constraints imposed on Panama Canal operation due to severe drought conditions in 2023 underscore the urgent need for resilient and sustainable supply chains. However, integrated appro...

| Summary: | The impact of global events such as the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Suez Canal obstruction, and the constraints imposed on Panama Canal operation due to severe drought conditions in 2023 underscore the urgent need for resilient and sustainable supply chains. However, integrated approaches that evaluate both sustainability and resilience simultaneously remain scarce. This article introduces a novel multi-phase, multi-period decision support framework for supplier selection and order allocation under demand uncertainty and network disruptions. Combining fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making with a fuzzy multi-objective mixed-integer nonlinear programming model, the framework optimizes triple bottom line sustainability alongside resilience. Applied to real-world pharmaceutical data, the results show that this integration enhances performance under disruptions but involves trade-offs, including up to 19.2 % higher costs and 42.3 % longer transport times. Despite increased environmental impact, the proposed framework offers a strategic tool for managing complex, high-risk international supply chains. |
