Summary/Abstract: In the recent years, the many economic shocks and shutdowns of major production facilities caused by events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, natural disasters and other unforeseen events, have led to increased interest in supply chain resilience among both the scientific and business communities. The classic risk management methods applied so far are insufficient to prepare organizations for the rapidly changing and hard to predict environment in modern business, due to their inability to adequately characterize events with low probability and high consequences. Resilience aims to overcome this shortcoming and appears to be a new approach to ensure the continuity of supply chain operations. There is no generally accepted definition of resilience in scientific and business circles. The main purpose of this report is to present the essence and characteristics of resilient supply chains as they are considered in the scientific literature and to derive a definition of the concept of resilience that covers the main characteristics of and expectations towards resilient supply chains.
