House of resilience for energy supply chains: a digitalization-based approach to enhancing supply chain robustness

Ensuring the resilience of energy supply chains has become a critical challenge in the face of increasing global uncertainties, disruptions, and the accelerating transition toward digital transformation. Although numerous studies have explored resilience in supply chains and the enabling role of digital technologies, there is still a lack of an integrated framework that systematically combines resilience principles with digital transformation in the context of energy systems. This paper presents the concept of the House of Resilience (HoR) as a structured framework for assessing and enhancing the adaptability, robustness, and sustainability of energy supply chains. Following this, the authors present a literature review on supply chain resilience that provides a foundation for understanding key factors influencing vulnerability and recovery capabilities. Later, the HoR conceptual approach is developed. It integrates digitalization as a core enabler for building resilience, emphasizing real-time data processing, predictive analytics, and advanced monitoring techniques. Furthermore, the study explores how digital tools and Industry 4.0 technologies contribute to strengthening the resilience of energy supply chains by improving visibility, flexibility, and proactive risk management. The findings highlight the necessity of a systematic, data-driven approach to resilience building, offering valuable insights for both researchers and practitioners involved in energy supply chain management.
