Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted global supply chains, with the retail food sector being one of the most affected. In Malaysia, challenges such as labor shortages, transportation restrictions, and fluctuating consumer demand have exposed vulnerabilities in the food supply chain. This study proposes the Integrated Supply Chain Resilience and Adaptation (ISCRA) Framework to enhance supply chain sustainability and resilience. By integrating Supply Chain Resilience Theory, Disruption Management Theory, Resource-Based View (RBV) Theory, and Systems Theory, the ISCRA Framework provides a holistic approach to mitigating disruptions. The study utilizes secondary data and predictive analytics, employing linear regression and CART decision tree models to assess disruption factors and recommend strategic interventions. Findings highlight the need for digital transformation, diversified sourcing strategies, and enhanced inventory management to ensure supply chain sustainability. This research contributes to supply chain management literature and offers practical insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders in strengthening food security and resilience against future disruptions.
