Abstract
Manufacturing firms face increasing supply disruptions and geopolitical volatility, ele-vating the need to understand and assess supplier resilience capabilities. While supply chain resilience has been widely studied, limited guidance exists on how focal firms can evaluate suppliers’ contributions to resilience. This study conducts a systematic litera-ture review to synthesize how manufacturing companies assess supplier resilience within supplier performance assessment practices. Findings show that existing ap-proaches are fragmented and often risk-focused rather than capability-oriented. Using the sensing, seizing, and transforming dynamic capabilities framework, the analysis identifies ten supplier resilience dimensions. These insights integrate dispersed assess-ment criteria into a coherent framework. The study contributes to theory by linking sup-plier assessment to resilience capability development and offers actionable guidance for designing resilience-oriented evaluation systems.
