Supply chain resilience (SCR) is a crucial property for having efficient supply chain network in any successful enterprise. Due to the increasing uncertainty in the today's business world and the widespread recognition of the grey theory as an effective way to deal with uncertain situations, this study presents a method for measuring SCR based on a grey system theory approach. For this purpose, a case study is carried out in a cement production company, located in Iran. Results revealed that distribution problems and supply limitations are the most serious vulnerabilities threatening the abovementioned company. Therefore, the cement company must make a plan to improve the effectiveness of its SCR by selecting an appropriate set of capabilities including effectiveness, resilience in supply, and flexibility in order fulfillment which are identified as three important capabilities of the case company's supply chain.

Abstract
Supply chain resilience (SCR) is a crucial property for having efficient supply chain network in any successful enterprise. Due to the increasing uncertainty in the today's business world and the widespread recognition of the grey theory as an effective way to deal with uncertain situations, this study presents a method for measuring SCR based on a grey system theory approach. For this purpose, a case study is carried out in a cement production company, located in Iran. Results revealed that distribution problems and supply limitations are the most serious vulnerabilities threatening the abovementioned company. Therefore, the cement company must make a plan to improve the effectiveness of its SCR by selecting an appropriate set of capabilities including effectiveness, resilience in supply, and flexibility in order fulfillment which are identified as three important capabilities of the case company's supply chain.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
