Abstract
Amidst a dynamic global landscape, supply chains have transformed into complex, interdependent networks. These ever-growing complexities can catalyze a snowball effect, where minor disruptions ripple through sub-infrastructures, culminating in significant cascading failures. As a result, the imperative to bolster supply chain sustainability and resilience has never been greater. This dissertation explores the intricate dynamics of supply chain sustainability and resilience, introducing innovative methodologies for assessing and enhancing these critical aspects. This dissertation rigorously examines the themes of sustainability and resilience within supply chain networks through distinct yet complementary lenses. Initially, it delves into sustainability by introducing the Supply Chain Performance Index (SCSI), which evaluates the biomass industry's environmental, social, and economic dimensions. Separately, it progresses to scrutinize Supply Chain Network Resilience (SCNR) through a structural assessment model that highlights the influence of network topologies on resilience capabilities. The investigation provides significant theoretical insights and practical applications, underscoring the pivotal role of strategic design in cultivating supply chains that are both sustainable and resilient.
