The Covid-19 pandemic has led to unpredictable market demands, shifts in product consumption patterns, and shorter product lifecycles, all of which necessitate careful planning and design to enhance supply chain resilience (SCR). This highlights an urgent need to prioritize the development of resilient supply chain strategies. The primary aim of this study is to explore the significance of SCR in the post-pandemic era and to identify the inhibitors, approaches, strategies, and technology enablers critical for building resilience. A systematic literature review of articles published between 2020 and 2023, sourced from leading databases such as Scopus, ScienceDirect, Emerald, Wiley, and Taylor & Francis, was conducted. Following a rigorous screening process, 107 journal articles were selected from an initial pool of 2,623 documents and analyzed in detail. The findings reveal that the pandemic caused significant disruptions to global supply chains, emphasizing the importance of SCR. This paper develops a comprehensive framework for SCR, addressing its inhibitors, enhancement strategies, and technology enablers, while also highlighting the sustainable advantages organizations can achieve through its implementation.
