Abstract

Companies are operating in an era where Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA) is commonplace in manufacturing companies. To manage effectively in this environment, manufacturing supply chains need to adopt resilient strategies. Organisations continue to adopt various technologies in order to manage the VUC environment and Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) supply chains are seen as a front runner in emerging technologies which has an impact on the business environments and supply chain practices globally. In this study, the authors undertook a systematic literature review of 95 scholarly articles published on Marine-driven supply chains and explore the impact and importance of manufacturing resilience. A bibliometric analysis was carried out via the Scopus database and results filtered, coded, and analysed using the bibliometric-R package. The authors then evaluated the thematic areas of Marine Supply Chains and explored identified challenges and proposed areas of development to move towards a resilient manufacturing supply chain.
