Abstract

The supply chain holds a vital position in today’s economic landscape and is essential to the functioning of modern markets, and a well-managed supply chain can significantly enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises. However, supply chain disruptions caused by uncertainties, such as natural disasters, can result in significant economic losses and may even drive firms out of the market. The supply chain serves as a vital link between suppliers and consumers in the context of globalization, allowing firms to secure competitive advantages and expand into new markets. To preserve the integrity of supply chain resilience, enterprises must stabilize operations by implementing core strategies, leveraging digital systems for monitoring and optimization, and thereby enhancing agility and adaptability. Accordingly, this study investigates the role of supply chains within the consumer electronics industry. Findings indicate that resilient supply chains rely on a dynamic integration of strategic supplier management, advanced digital technologies, and regional diversification. With growing global market uncertainty, enterprises need to combine flexibility, innovation, and localized resources to sustain continuity, mitigate risks, and safeguard long-term competitiveness.
