Resilient Metallurgical supplier management – research and practice gap

Abstract

The resilient supplier management is a crucial part of the resilient supply chain management. The topic becomes very urgent due to the increasing number of disruptions, which appears in today’s global and turbulent business environment. The paper presents a literature review of the resilient supplier management approaches and practical experiences with their implementation in the metallurgical industry. The aim of the paper is to define the research and practice gap, i.e. identify the state of the art in that field, compare it with practice and propose the directions for further research.
