Abstract

Background : Cross-border suppliers have always been points of disruption, further impacting international trade, businesses, and societies along the chain. Understanding the current resilience capabilities of cross-border suppliers is a stepping-stone to implementing resilience initiatives and policies to mitigate disruptions. However, no guidelines or practical tools exist to help cross-border suppliers conduct a deep-dive analysis of their resilience. Therefore, this paper proposes an assessment tool to guide cross-border suppliers in assessing their resilience capabilities. Methods : The supplier-focused resilience assessment approach was adapted from the Logistics Performance Index concept. The questionnaire and its resilience assessment dimensions were established through a literature review with the support of experienced cross-border professionals. Case study validation was further conducted to demonstrate the tool’s applicability. Results : The assessment evaluation through the Cross-Border Resilience Performance Index facilitates detailed analysis and benchmarking, enabling recommendations for necessary resilience initiatives and policies. Conclusions : This study contributes to the supply chain literature by adding a more practical resilience assessment approach focusing on cross-border suppliers. The Cross-Border Resilience Performance Index is the study’s primary contribution and is novel to the literature. The tool’s advantages include ease of use, replication potential, and its ability to glean comprehensive insights, ultimately improving supplier resilience and supply chain robustness. By implementing more precise initiatives, the tool increases the chances of cross-border suppliers being selected and maintained by buyers, helping them sustain their businesses and better respond to changing conditions to mitigate disruptions.
