SAGE Open, 7(3). doi:10.1177/21582440177175702158-2440EZ9DU (isidoc)https://hdl.handle.net/10182/8722We propose a conceptual framework that highlights the importance of logistics, collaboration, sourcing, and knowledge management in achieving supply chain resilience. This framework is developed after extensive literature review of relief supply chains, supply chain resilience, and disaster management disciplines. This review reveals that our understanding of supply chain resilience for food supply chains in a disaster scenario is still in its infancy. We note the lack of any consolidated framework or generalized theory in this area. Different topics related to resilience are usually discussed in isolation; hence, this research has attempted to combine different concepts drawn from various areas into one framework. We postulate that food supply chains can develop certain capabilities such as agility, adaptability, and alignment within the four supply chain domains of logistics, collaboration, sourcing, and knowledge management. Supply chain orientation and risk management culture plays the facilitating role in this framework. Adopting this systems approach would allow greater insights into how food supply chains can become more resilient to natural disasters.11 pagesen© The Author(s) 2017 Creative Commons CC BY: This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License (http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/) which permits any use, reproduction and distribution of the work without further permission provided the original work is attributed as specified on the SAGE and Open Access pages (https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/open-access-at-sage).vulnerabilitysupply chain resiliencedisaster managementfood supply chainJournal Article10.1177/2158244017717570ANZSRC::0908 Food SciencesANZSRC::090804 Food Packaging, Preservation and SafetyANZSRC::150309 Logistics and Supply Chain Management2158-2440ANZSRC::44 Human societyANZSRC::47 Language, communication and culturehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Attribution
