Disaster management in supply chains: a systematic literature review with bibliometric and content analysis

Disasters have a severe impact on all relevant stakeholders involved in the supply chains (SCs); however, a systematic examination of disaster management in the SCs domain is still lacking. The objective of this paper is to conduct an analysis of the academic literature on Supply Chain Disaster Management (SCDM). A systematic literature review of 787 papers was conducted that met the inclusion criteria from mainstream academic databases published between 2015 and 2024, incorporating bibliometric, network, and content analysis methods. We then develop a conceptual model that synthesises the themes of disasters management in SCs: impact of disaster, disaster relief approaches, and barriers. Moreover, this review uncovers the specific impacts of different types of disasters on various stages of the SCs and the corresponding response strategies. This study contributes to the research and practice of disaster management in SCs by providing a systematic knowledge structure of the topic and future research directions.
