Abstract

This study aims to investigate the sources of resilience for logistics operations as it relates to food supply chains and their responses during natural disasters and other disruptions. The literature tends to treat inherent and adaptive resilience as somewhat separate constructs. Thus, this study also aims to provide some insights into the relatively underexamined area of how inherent resilience synergistically works with adaptive resilience to maintain flows for food supply chains in a developing economy context. To address the research aim, two supply chain wide case studies were used to investigate the contribution of logistic activities toward the resilience of foods supply chains in two different South Asian regions. This context was selected as these regions are prone to frequent natural disruptions and other disruptions, and these food supply chains also play a crucial role in economy and providing relief supplies to their communities. Logistics operations play a key role in achieving overall supply chain resilience. The sources of inherent resilience are the network structure, buffer capacity, and strong social connections among the actors. Adaptive resilience is derived from transportation flows, storage, information sharing, and demand management processes. Surprisingly, resilience in this context is achieved despite the relatively low level of integration, an unsophisticated technological landscape and compromised logistics infrastructure. Still, resilience can be enhanced further. This study contributes to the sparse literature that examines logistics activities that influence the resilience of food supply chains in the context of natural disasters and other disruptions. Furthermore, uncovering the substructure of logistics resilience activities, and surprisingly, the synergies between inherent and adaptive resilience, adds to the emerging body of literature.

食品供应链中物流运作的内在适应能力
本研究旨在调查物流运作的复原力来源,因为它与食品供应链及其在自然灾害和其他干扰期间的应对措施有关。文献往往将固有复原力和适应复原力视为不同的概念。因此,本研究的目的还在于为相对研究不足的领域提供一些见解,即在发展中经济体背景下,固有复原力如何与适应复原力协同作用,以维持粮食供应链的流动。为了实现研究目标,本研究使用了两个供应链范围的案例研究,以调查物流活动对两个不同的南亚地区食品供应链恢复力的贡献。之所以选择这一背景,是因为这些地区容易受到频繁的自然干扰和其他干扰,而这些食品供应链在经济和向社区提供救援物资方面也发挥着至关重要的作用。物流运作在实现供应链整体复原力方面发挥着关键作用。固有复原力的来源是网络结构、缓冲能力和参与者之间强有力的社会联系。适应性复原力来自运输流、存储、信息共享和需求管理流程。令人惊讶的是,尽管一体化程度相对较低、技术不成熟、物流基础设施受损,但在这种情况下仍能实现恢复力。不过,抗灾能力仍可进一步提高。本研究为研究影响粮食供应链在自然灾害和其他干扰情况下的恢复力的物流活动的稀缺文献做出了贡献。此外,本研究还揭示了物流抗灾活动的子结构,以及令人惊讶的内在抗灾能力与适应抗灾能力之间的协同作用,为新兴的文献体系增添了新的内容。
