Abstract :
The supply chain needs the cooperative instrument to face environment challenge for survival in turbulent and volatile markets. This instrument is agility. In fact, the business environment is constantly changing and change creates risk. The risk management is rapidly changing, competitive challenges that require elastic; namely ability to survive, adapt and grow in the face of turbulent change. Accordingly, the purpose of present paper is explanation and evaluation of resilience and supply chain resilience by means of an empirical examination in automobile parts manufacturing industry in Mazandaran. The sample in research was 31 companies, and data collection tools were questionnaire including some standard questions with the reliability of 0.85, and data were analyzed using fuzzy hypothesis test. The possibility of the effectiveness of each factor is determined according to their membership functions of acceptance. Finally, it is concluded that managers must to support capability factors that have low membership functions and reduce the effectiveness of vulnerability factors that have high membership functions to receive higher supply chain resilience.
