Supply chain risk management involves identifying, ranking, and adopting appropriate strategies to control and deal with risks that could disrupt chain performance. These risks can be caused by different issues and descriptions and surveys about these risks are associated with uncertainty, ambiguity, qualitativeness and incomplete and sometimes contradictory information. Therefore, their ranking needs the techniques that can model the mentioned issues. neutrosophic logic makes it possible to model propositions with uncertainty, incomplete information, ambiguity, qualitativeness, and even inconsistency. Accordingly, the approach of the present study is to use a combined method of neutrosophic hierarchical analysis and TOPSIS for ranking the risk. Core of this paper is proposed a hybrid decision making method for identification and ranking of supply chain management by a Neutrosophic analytical hierarchy process and TOPSIS approach. The case study is Mobarakeh Steel Company of Isfahan and three criteria including resilience, agility and robustness are considered as major strategies to deal with risk and seventeen risk-related issues are ranked as options. The results show that government constraints, economic and environmental risks, inventory shortages, technology risk, forecast risk and financial (cash) problems are the most important risks threatening the supply chain. Therefore, we believe that the proposed framework provides managers with valuable knowledge for decision making.

Review of previous research shows that a systematic and comprehensive approach to the factors and dimensions of Supply Chain Resilience (SCR) has received less attention in this field. Therefore, the aim of this study is to design a model of factors influencing SCR. This research is considered applied and development-oriented in terms of its objective and was conducted in the tile and ceramic industry in Yazd province. In doing so, the study primarily investigated publications indexed on scientific databases, extracting the factors affecting SCR through a systematic approach and the meta-synthesis method. Following that, a model was constructed that consisted of 33 factors falling under five dimensions: 1) production and distribution management, 2) communication and participative management, 3) financial and information management, 4) human resources management, and 5) risk and crisis management. The findings revealed that such factors as “having a strong relationship with suppliers”, “using lean production and eliminating wastes”, “technological flexibility in production”, “implementing integrated Information Technology (IT) infrastructures in the SC”, and “safety stock of materials” were the most important factors affecting resilience in the SC. Generally speaking, what distinguish this study from the others in this field are the new and scientific framework of factors that it proposes through a systematic approach and the identification of the most important factors, which could serve as a guideline to senior managers and decision-makers.
