Abstract

Given the increasing uncertainty in global supply chains, the consideration of resilience alongside sustainability has become significantly more important in the area of manufacturing strategy. However, the operations and supply chain management literature has witnessed a debate regarding the potential trade-off between these two concepts. This study aims to delve into the similarities and differences between sustainability and resilience, exploring their theoretical background.

A systematic literature network analysis was conducted on sustainability and resilience literature using CIMO (Context-Intervention-Mechanisms-Outcome) logic for the data evaluation.

The results show overlaps but also a partly different focus in the development of sustainability and resilience based on the applied theories, the focus on the performance problem, and the positioning within the manufacturing strategy.

This study contributes to the current discussion on the potential interplay between sustainability and resilience in operations and supply chain management. The developed framework provides guidance for integrating dual demands of sustainability and resilience within manufacturing strategy research and practice.
