Abstract

Today, the design and creation of a resilient supply chain have be-come a major concern for organizations. They attempt to evaluate their supply chain by creating indicators such as the influence of changes, the return to the previous state after facing change and the needed time to recover the changes, and using these indicators to increase their supply chain resiliency. In some country such as Iran other indicators should be considered to evaluate the supply chain such as resilient economy direc-tions. In this paper, we try to provide the Indicators related to resistance economy for supplier selection in a supply chain. The obtained indica-tors can be used for supplier selection and assessment in sanction cir-cumstances. A case study has been proposed to show the effectiveness and efficiency of proposed indicators. A real organization (Iran Argham) have been investigated to implement the proposed framework and select the best supplier for a strategic partnership.
